From My Studio: Exploring Helen Alice Johnson’s Creative Process
A Colourful Life – A Video Blog
Join artist Helen Alice Johnson for A Colourful Life, a weekly video blog following the places, ideas and experiences that inspire her paintings. From beautiful gardens and changing landscapes to works in progress, exhibitions and life in the studio, Helen shares an insight into her creative process and her fascination with colour, nature, pattern and sacred geometry. Each episode offers a glimpse behind the paintings and into the landscapes and stories that inspire them.
Percy House Gallery representation, Cockermouth
This week I visit Percy House Gallery in Cockermouth where several of my large landscape paintings, smaller abstract paintings as well as limited edition and open edition giclee prints are exhibited. I am delighted to have been accepted by Percy House Gallery as one of their artists and look forward to working with them moving forward. I have also finished my final seascape painting this week, in oil and recycled plastic, which I collected from beach combing the very same beach that is depicted in the painting. Despite being a Blue Flag beach, sadly there is still plastic to be found on the beach and so I use this in my paintings as a way of highlighting the issue of plastics in Our Beautiful World. This week coming, I am visiting New York, and the Guggenheim, to see the Hilma Af Klint exhibition, which I am hugely excited about!
