Drawing

We draw to say something that cannot otherwise be said. To draw is to see, to learn, to understand.

One of the reasons Helen chooses to draw is that it is the creative process in action. It shows the errors and corrections, decision and indecision, losses and wins. It not only records the subject and ideas, it but also the history of the making and can take an infinite number of forms.

Drawing for Helen is a constant investigation. A way of getting to know and record the qualities of what she is looking at or where she is. It is the most immediate way to capture what she sees and feels and is a constantly evolving process.

Here is a small collection of drawings from different times. Some, spontaneous plein air captures, others evolved studio studies.
