About

Helen is a figurative artist, using her passion for details to capture moments of beauty in the every day. Her art is a documentation of the subtle love that is experienced in the most simple of moments - be it, in the peace of being in solitude, or in the bustle of a restaurant. Her work has transformed from focusing solely on the human form, to currently, how people interact with themselves and their surroundings. She works primarily with pencils, exploring light and composition through soft colour.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork

‘Times of Reflection’ was created around the idea of seeing myself how others see me. As I age, the tiny changes in my appearance are noticed whenever I look in the mirror, and that feeling is a universal experience. This piece, although created by myself, gives a chance to consider somebody else’s gaze.
