About

Hello, I'm Helena. 

I have spent a lifetime teaching art and creating artwork for all manner of clients, from personal commissions, to The Sunday Times and even TV shows but the theme that keeps me coming back to my studio (and to myself), is wellbeing. 

I’ve learnt the hard way, through repeated illness and a growing sense of unease that the way I was living was unsustainable, unhealthy and not really how I wanted to be at all. Becoming a parent was the ultimate motivation to prioritise modelling a better way of being.

This realisation was just the beginning. The real work has been to figure out what to do about it. For me it’s taken years and years and it’s still a work in progress; looking at all sorts of modalities, trying all sorts of things, peeling back layers and layers of conditioning and incorporating what I’ve learnt into my painting and drawing practice. Which is where I feel most aligned with myself, the planet and spirit.

I create artwork to support you to summon into your life what you need to change for the better. Drawing on the magic of the present moment, what is around us and what has been before, to help you create a joyful and meaningful life.

I also run courses to take a deeper look at what’s happening neurologically and psychologically when we try to do things differently and I equip you with tools to put your wellbeing in the picture. So you can create the fulfilling, intentional life you want. We use observational drawing as an incredible shortcut to side track the mental chatter, the familiar patterns and negative self-talk. To find peace, space, and a regular practice we can turn to whenever we need it.

Take a look at my latest artworks and courses and get in touch if you would like a talk, discussion or practical experience for your group or organisation to share the magic, spark meaningful conversations, ask important questions and turn it all back to thinking about you, your place in the world and your impact here and now.
