Helen works mainly in acrylic paints, using the vibrant colours to their full potential. In the early days Helen admired the work of American artist Norman Rockwell who illustrated hundreds of issues of the Saturday Evening Post for many years in the 1930s, and visited his home town in New England.

More recently, Helen has pursued her main interest in fine art landscapes and exhibited at Lyme Hall, Dunham Hall, Macclesfield Town Hall, and galleries in Cheshire and Chelsea.

Helen now specialises in dramatic landscape scenes and has been heavily influenced by the many trips over the Snake Pass to her home town of Sheffield. Following many trips to her favourite city of Paris, Helen has also been influenced by the French impressionist artists. She loves to create textures in her paintings bringing to life the landscapes. Together with her exciting use of light, her paintings often look almost photographic.
