Rose Coloured Sky Painting

Helen Chambers is an abstract painter from London. After graduating from Winchester School of Art in 1995. Helen took up painting following a 25 year career as a commercial artist, creating print designs for women's garments. Helen paints mostly using acrylic. With a natural instinct for colour she explores contrasts between colours and between light and dark. She works intuitively from memory and mood taking inspiration from landscapes, seascapes and flora. Helen's work is held by several London and UK galleries. ‘The contrast between light and dark and colour plays a key role in my work. Colour has the power to change mood as well as a way to express mood. There is a particular richness to the colour of paint that can’t be captured in a photograph or print quite the same. In a world where so much is made by machines, having a handmade item in the home can stand out and bring contrast to a room. Contrast is also what creates interest both in art and in life..’
