Wilson, Helen

Being an artist in Wellington means that one is constantly reminded of colour and form. This provides one with ample material to be enthusiast about. Travel to Europe reminds one of history and architecture.

Helen's artwork has been shaped by a children's Saturday morning art school in Dunedin to being under the tutorship of Carl Laugeson and Bernice Smart.

“It seems as though I have always held a pencil and dabbled with a paintbox. These days I explore mediums of watercolours, acrylics, oils.”

Helen regularly exhibits. She is a past president of Watercolour New Zealand. Member and exhibitor with the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts, past president of the Wellington Art club. Exhibits in Village Green, Khandallah and Van Helden’s Gallery, Eastbourne.

A balance to life is travelling to Wairarapa, Tauweru, on Castlepoint Road where she has a lavender and olive farm: 2,000 lavenders and 100 olive trees.
