Helen is an emerging artist based in Moonah, lutruwita/Tasmania. She graduated with First Class Honours in Fine Arts from the University of Tasmania in 2013 before throwing herself into raising her young children. She exhibited her first solo show at the end of 2023.

Her practice is focused on examining points of intersection between large-scale social forces and the small and mundane actions of individuals, with the aim of revealing the emotional complexity of contemporary existence. Her painstakingly rendered drawings are an invitation to reflect and connect, to ponder our individual and collective agency in a threatened world. 

Helen has been a finalist in the Women’s Art Prize Tasmania 2024, Henry Jones Art Prize 2022, Paul Guest Prize 2018, The RACT Portrait Prize 2013 (Highly Commended) and the Melbourne Stencil Festival (Emerging Artist Award Winner) 2006. She has undertaken a mentorship with renowned artist David Frazer and was the recipient of an Australian Council for the Arts ArtStart Grant in 2010. Her work has been featured in Island Magazine.
