Rachel Hall Kirk joined the CWU faculty in 2014.
She earned her MFA in drawing and painting in
2004 from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She has taught for over thirteen years at six different colleges. Her abstract artwork, which she has shown locally and nationally, is based on patterns found in nature and combines elements of both drawing and painting. In addition to teaching and creating new artwork, Rachel enjoys gardening, loving on her cat and two dogs, and being a nature enthusiast. While she finds very little joy in the act of running, she loves reaching goals and is proud to have completed three half-marathons.
