Another period of study in 1999 continued the development of her skills as an oil painter.
Although Helen works mostly with oils, she also enjoys pastel work and drawing and has provided private tuition to other local artists who have shown interest in traditional portraiture methods.
Since 2000 Helen has lived for periods in New York, where she also exhibited her artwork. Her paintings hang in private and business collections in Australia, the UK, France and the USA.
As well selling her paintings, Helen also takes commissions from Australian and international clients.
