| | Happily ensconced on the north end of Camano Island, Washington with her husband, John, and her Maine Coon cat Rum Tum Tugger, Helen feels like she has finally found home.

All of the paintings in this gallery are acrylic mixed media and most are done on 3" deep canvases. Ferns, yarns,and stones are layered in with acrylic mediums.
