About Helen: I am interested in metamorphosis as a natural phenomenon as well as an interpersonal phenomenon. This interest is reflected in my work, whether in my paintings or abstract organic sculpture. My work is inspired by the natural world: light, shadow, color, plant life, sea life, water, earth, pods, seeds, cocoons, coral, sea anemones. Much of my current work is done in plein air, inspired by my first trip to Claude Monet’s home and gardens in Giverny, France last year. I am a member of the Plein Air Painters Chicago.
