Helen White has been a commercial artist for almost 20 years, during which time her work has been exhibited in the UK and, thanks to the internet, widely collected worldwide not to mention featured in magazines, books and used in numerous other applications.
She began as a self-taught painter in oils, developing a distinctive way of working with the medium over more than a decade of output. She then diversified into digital art as a side-line that helped her work to translate into fabric design and various other applications. She now works, predominantly, in acrylic on canvas and also in watercolour and pencil.
Subjects are equally diverse though the core theme is “light” or those moments when a rarified quality of light elevates a particular subject and suggests a quality of peace, unity or otherworldliness. Such moments can be as transformative as they are fleeting and Helen’s objective is to capture those and convey them to her audience in the hope that her work will offer as much joy and appreciation as she experiences when she is painting.
