New series of work and art show..

Hi there everyone .. I thought I would share a few pics of my latest escapades..

I have begun a new series called 'Serenity within Chaos'

I was reflecting on this amazing age that we are living in, with so much technology and information available to us at the click of a button. This brings with it a lot of excitement , discovery and growth..but for many, it also creates questions that seem to have no answers, feelings of confusion, anxiety and being overwhelmed.

This new work reflects my thoughts on how peace can be found through living in the present moment and our best answers always come from within. We can be our own island of serenity while still walking amongst our world of chaos.
I am using texture, layers and movement to depict the turbulent times, framing a peaceful moment snapped in time, where those within appear oblivious to all the noise and confusion that surrounds them.

This is number three in the series called 'A Moment of Stillness'
( mixed media on canvas)


I had a full on weekend doing a 2 day show.. that was my first 2 day.. boy was I tired!.. Lots of fun though I had my friend showing with me , so we had a blast. Check out one view of our display..


It was great to sell prints, paintings, magnets and pendants.. but I was also thrilled that everybody loved my tiny ceramic pots as that was something new for me. And so easy to package up for the buyers as I had already packaged them in little sweet boxes.. here is what they looked like..

I hope you all find plenty of precious moments this week..

Love Helen

  6. OMG, Helen! Your display! It's gorgeous and so regal! Had I been there, I would have stood next to your table all day, annoying the crap out of you, but really I would be basking in the glow of my very talented and beautiful friend.

    And if I were there and did NOT know you, you'd better bet your display would make my head do a double take. I'd be drawn to your work, and I'd oooh and aaah over your paintings and shadow boxes. I love that large painting in the background! And your ceramic bowls! I would be fingering each one. I love how they are so simple and elegant. They are gorgeous!

    Speaking of paintings, your newest one is a dream! The blues and the blacks are very dramatic and absolutely beautiful. This is a fantastic new series. I love the message behind it and can't wait to see more.

    Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
