Melbourne born Helen has worked as a professional artist since leaving school teaching in 1992
She gained recognition for her landscapes and figurative works in soft pastel. Drawing has always informed her Art and she has exhibited widely in group shows and regular solo exhibitions.
Portrait painting was Helen’s focus for many years with selection for National Portrait Competitions and culminating in acquisition of her portrait of ‘The Seekers’ by The National Portrait Gallery.
Helen is committed to continuing growth as an artist and during a two year mentorship in 2017 was encouraged to experiment with a variety of media and ideas which lead to her recent experimentation with sculpture and 3D. She further expanded her horizons attending a print-making workshop in Florence Italy.
