Book Week - Beautiful Books Display

Our lovely librarian has been after me to do a display at our local library for a while  and we have finally managed to get it happening. 

I included a selection of hand made books by me and also others I have swapped with. 

This one is on cultured foods- 

strange Brews. 

They all look pretty lovely sitting in the cabinet 

and hopefully I will get some feedback from our community. 

If you are in Grafton, do pop in and have a peek. 

Wooli Summer Exhibition

Some of my works on exhibition at the Wooli Gallery this summer,

Wooli as a great little town to visit, 

with the beautiful Wooli River on one side

 and the stunning Pacific Ocean on the other

 and surrounded by national park.

So if you are on the north coast NSW pop in and say hello to Helen.

Pick some lovely little something out

And take home your very own piece of

River Girl Art

I will also be out in Wooli over the summer along with a whole host of other talented artists offering free workshops in the ART box

Sneek Peek at my Jacaranda Goddess works

I am working on a body of work inspired by the sacred feminine, some of these works will be selected for exhibition in this years annual Jacaranda Exhibition as part of the Jacaranda Festival. I have been exploring textures using hand made papers, collage and including fabrics, looking at ancient images and symbolism and creating hand carved stamps, printing plates and hand made stencils, doing lots of fine detailed drawings and also creating small felted dolls.
This body of work includes mixed media pieces, hand made art journals, a large and very interesting interactive canvas panel, some sculptural prices and a few other surprises.
