Helena Butler
After a long career in several creative industries, I want to devote as much time as I can to painting - it gives me huge pleasure and if someone likes what I produce enough to hang it in their home that is wonderful !
I attended Cordwainers College ( part of London College of Fashion ), for two years studying Accessories Design and Manufacture, which involved producing art work and design drawings.
Now I prefer to concentrate on painting - I make semi-abstract landscapes using acrylics, inks and oils on stretched canvas or linen.
Living in West London I have access to the river Thames, this is constant source of beautiful watery views, but I also enjoy painting the Great West Road - which is three minutes walk from my home.
The structures of the flyover and underpass create a great framework for a painting, and the coloured lights add drama.
The road lights are reflected on the tarmac and remind me of reflections in water, so I would say overall that although the subject matter may seem diverse, the theme is always - atmosphere, reflections and light.
I use acrylics, ink and water-based oils, working in many layers to give depth and texture to my work.
