Helen Frances Edwards
Melbourne born and based, Helen began painting professionally in 1993 following a teaching career in Primary and Special Education. Her portraits, figures and landscapes in oils, pastel and acrylics reflect a Realist-Impressionist style, and seek to convey not only a visual record but a deeply personal response to each subject.
For Helen, inspiration is often related to the quality of the light that attends a moment or defines a subject. In recalling that experience and conveying the dynamics of it in her work, the process of painting becomes intensely meaningful as she relives and shares with the viewer her most treasured responses.
The recipient of many prizes Helen has been a selected finalist for many national portrait awards and juried exhibitions. Since 1993 she has also participated in numerous other solo and group exhibitions and had articles and images of her paintings featured in artist magazines. Her work with Fusion6 artist's including About Face and their latest project Detour is a most meaningful and satisfying involvement. Other memberships include Portrait Artists Australia, The Victorian Artists’ Society,The Australian Guild Of Realist Artists and The Pastel Society of Victoria. She is represented by several commercial galleries in Victoria.
