Helen's artworks have been exhibited in competitive exhibitions in most states since 1997 with many awards both in traditional and contemporary genres. Local awards include those given by Gympie and Noosa Regional Galleries, Maleny Art Awards, Kenilworth Festival of Arts and Butter Factory Arts Centre. Mixed media allows the creation of unusual and exciting elements to the texture and visual surface of the contemporary canvas which describes the emotions of the moment and the vibrant world that surrounds us. Commissions in traditional and abstract genres are most welcome.
