Helen

Initially trained as a Graphic Designer in the mid eighties, I have worked in the creative and communictions industry for over 22 years. In 2010, I took a career break and returned to university and completed my degree in Illustration and Printmaking with First class honours. I now practice as an artist and Illustrator as well as designer.
My work currently spans a variety of disciplines and mixed media. My practice forms a process of exploration of many aspects of cultural, observational, humourous, historical and mythical references.
I like to experiment with a cross section of mediums in order to encapsulate the essence of my subject matter and maximize my creativity. This includes the use of many print processes such as photo-transfer and etchings, as well as screen-printing. My real love however, is for drawing and I have recently enjoyed creating images using pen and water colour washes.
I am fortunate enough to have travelled extensively and to have experienced many different people, places and cultures. I have developed a natural interest for history and for people watching. I have used my many life experiences/observations to influence my work and creativity.
I will continue to explore processes to create more new and exciting images to broaden my knowledge and skill base.

I recently worked for the BBC - paints diamond jubilee
and have exhibited alongside Damien Hirst and Peter Blake at the Mall Galleries in London.
