Helen Evans
I’ve been making art more or less full-time since graduating from art school in Manchester. Over the years, my practice has followed me from the UK to Bermuda, and now to Brighton in Brisbane, Queensland.
Wherever I’ve lived, painting has been a constant. It’s how I make sense of the world around me. I work mainly in acrylic on board, creating vibrant, textured paintings of still life, botanicals and landscapes. My process begins with observation, drawing from life to explore light, shadow, and the quiet presence of everyday objects.
People often tell me my paintings help them slow down and notice things they might have overlooked. That’s what I hope for, to offer a fresh way of seeing, and to share the wonder I find in the ordinary.

Acrylic on wood
32cm x 42cm x 7cm

This richly layered acrylic painting is created on a sturdy wood panel and finished with three coats of gloss medium to bring out the depth of colour and texture. It’s presented in a hand-sanded meranti float frame, waxed to a soft sheen that complements the work without overpowering it. The final surface is gently taken back with beeswax to a beautiful satin finish that catches the light just right.
Wired and ready to hang.

I have been collecting flora from around my neighbourhood to use in drawings and paintings. I saw the elderberry bush, and it reminded me of staying at my aunt’s house in Cumbria in the NW of England as a child. The red berries are from Mexican Pepper, which reminds me of my husband’s childhood home in Bermuda.
