Helen is an abstract artist who recently relocated from London to the stunning South Downs in Hampshire. Her work captures the profound emotions evoked by nature's beauty, from the intensity of a stormy sky to the serenity of a vibrant sunset. Blending strength with vulnerability, Helen’s art often reveals hidden moments of peace.

​

"I am drawn to the duality of skies and seas, which can embody both wildness and tranquillity. My art seeks to explore these opposing forces within us, using texture, colour, and layering to evoke a sense of euphoric calm. Through this process, I aim to create a space where contrasting energies coexist in harmony."

​

To achieve the textures that speak to these emotions, Helen employs a variety of tools and materials, including palette knives, rollers, sponges, modelling paste, crackle paste, and sand. The tactile quality of her work invites the viewer to pause and engage with the layers, connecting to the underlying emotional states she conveys. Layering acrylics, inks, and pastels further enhances the depth and complexity of her pieces.

​

Colour plays a pivotal role in Helen’s work. The deep richness of blues and the energising vibrancy of pinks and reds stir intense emotions. Her use of colour creates dynamic movement within the artwork, while layering and removing paint uncover unexpected beauty. In some of her collections, Helen incorporates gold leaf, inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, to celebrate the beauty of imperfection and reflect our personal histories and the acceptance of our flaws.

​

Helen aims to forge emotional connections with her audience, inviting them to explore their own interpretations and associations with her art.  In addition to her collections, Helen also offers commissioned pieces, collaborating with clients to create artworks that reflect their individual preferences and vision.
