mel on copper, lately is expressing her love of form and color in Sumi-e-Japanese art form. Helen says "Much like calligraphy, or the art of beautiful writing, the philosophy of Sumi-e is a contrast and harmony of life, expressing simple beauty and elegance. Like nature's vitality in it's design and execution, Sumi-e aims to depict the spirit, rather than a semblance of object.

My goal at this age, is to have fun and share that with others. The inspiration for my paintings come from water media itself. It is a change to make that happen. I’m eager to use my artistic ability. My works were sold around the World and many were donated to charities. I would like to be known for my creativity. The use of wonderful colors and of course the freedom of artistic expression. Thank you.
