Helena is an artist inspired by the beautiful Isle of Skye where she lives. She grew up in Edinburgh, graduated from Glasgow School of Art with a BA Hons from the Embroidered and Woven Textiles Department, and moved to the Isle of Skye 26 years ago.

She loves to paint outside using a subtle palette, hoping to capture the mercurial weather, light and moods of the Isle of Skye. She portrays the feeling of Skye through an intuitive response to the changing landscape and its colours. Rhythms, tides, seasons and shorelines infuse her work. Being within the landscape, feeling the elements while seeing her surroundings change, produces the sense of the particular moment in all her pieces.
