Helen During


"I have painted on and off throughout my life. However the recent sale of my business freed me up to commit considerably more time to my art. My goal is to communicate with the viewer through my paintings by using as few strokes as possible that say as much as possible. It's about capturing my response to the subject in such a way that you, the viewer, sense what it is I am trying to say. This is hopefully done by trying to capture my emotional response to the subject in paint rather than 'trying to make a petal out of paint'!"
