About Helen White

 
 
  • Biography

    Self-taught in the use of oil paints, I have been painting professionally for over 15 years now during which my work has been widely exhibited and represented by galleries in both the UK and US. It now hangs in collections all around the world. Diversification into digital processes is now allowing me to develop a multifarious combination of brushstrokes and digital techniques, making use of my experience as a painter and photographer to work in many layers on a desktop to create a new generation of artworks. This, combined with a a lifelong passion for textiles, has led to the creation of a collection of fabric designs for modal, cashmere and silk scarves and more via conscious clothing brand Vida. This appeals to my long-held conviction that art should not be limited to a small area of a wall but used to enhance and communicate positivity in all aspect of our daily lives. These days, I combine all of these art pursuits, plus photography, in ways that keep me perpetually busy and on my toes.

    Whatever I create has everything to do with radiance, health, wholeness and positivity, since my art process has evolved alongside my recovery journey following the health crisis that changed my life, over a decade ago. Art was one of the key things that led me back to my wholeness and my constant motivation is to share all that I find most beautiful, uplifting and optimistic with others.
