Hello, I’m Helen. I photograph everyday objects very close-up to highlight the intrinsic beauty that I now believe can be found in every moment, marveling at the way the ordinary can transform into art by looking in a new way.

I am a British/Australian artist, a photographer, a designer, and many other things. But above all, I am human, attempting to make sense of this human experience. As I expect we all are.

After decades of deteriorating health, one day in 2017 I discovered extraordinary beauty in the most unexpected of places. As lampposts and letterboxes began to transform into vibrant abstract art before my eyes, my struggles were momentarily pierced by a glimmer of light.

This pivotal experience not only ignited an exploration of my external environment and internal psyche, but shifted the downward trajectory of my health, and birthed the foundation of my art practice.

My art explores the intricate dance between our perceptions and reality; the beauty that permeates everyday life; the psychological undercurrents that influence our behaviour; and the power of questioning labels and beliefs.

Through my art, I explore these and other themes, as I continue to learn how to come back to my heart, to express myself with authenticity and to remember to embrace the possibilities that exist in each moment.

This exploration invites a questioning of perceptions, allowing for a more expansive understanding of myself and my reality.

Ultimately, my core art practice of photography transcends the surface and invites me to engage in a deeper inquiry of myself and the world around me.

It’s not what
you look at
that matters,
it’s what
you see.
