About the Artist

"I have been doing figurative sculpture for over 35 years. My interest lies in the nature of the human condition, the drama that is Life, and all the many possibilities this may encompass for the expression of my work. I do a variety sculpture in many different mediums and enjoy portraiture both animal and human. I use movement, emotion and strong forms within the sculpture to show our connectiveness to one another and the environment we find ourselves in. Many of my creative pieces are narrative in nature and have the quality of the theatrical.

Quite often there is more than one figure in a sculpture, and as each figure is added, the story unfolds, the meaning of which may be a mystery that is ultimately that is left up to the viewer."

 Helene has won many national awards for her sculpture and has shown extensively both regionally and nationally. She has studied with nationally renowned sculptor Stanley Bliefeld, Fellows of the National Sculpture Society, and both Elisabeth Gordon Chandler and Laci DeGerenday of the Lyme Academy and College of Fine Art and Fellows of the National Sculpture Society.

Helene holds an MFA from the University of Colorado in Boulder and was an instructor of sculpture at LACFA from 2000 - 20005.

Now she creates sculpture in the artistic village of Chester, Connecticut.
