Hello & welcome, I’m Helen.

Thank you so much for being here, I hope you find inspiration within these pages.

My paintings are created from instinct, intuition and a passion for the magical, often unexplainable parts of life. Brushwork is important to me. In calligraphy, the line is considered to hold the creators energy of being (Qi, life force or Kiai, spirit essence) - this is how painting and drawing feel to me, a transference of self (energy, beliefs, feelings, a life lived) onto canvas or paper, via brush or pencil.

I work in layers of colour, shape, pattern, brush mark and line, to create highly expressive, semi-abstract, florals and landscapes which, I hope, evoke a sense of freedom, fun, hope and inspiration.

my story

“Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it”

I fell in love with it instantly. You put so much into your work, and I find more and more details and joy in it every time I look at it. Your style of painting is so refreshing and free, and I will treasure mine forever.”
