Helen's work is informed primarily by the landscape, although it is always the human histories that compel her to make a print. Working from photographs and drawings, she takes elements from the known landscape and combines them with remembered and imaginary forms. By attempting to understand the definitive nature of a subject, Helen hopes, through the lengthy proofing and printing process, to discover a narrative which is more resonant or unexpected.

Helen has been awarded two Printmakers Council prizes and her work is held in the V&A Museum's print collection and the permanent public art collection of the Scarborough Art Gallery and Museum.
