Prints
Prints are available of my current series of work, in two sizes. They are printed on archival 250gsm, acid-free matte paper.
They are printed locally in 33 countries in the world, both to reduce the impact on the environment and also meaning that I can offer free shipping.

About Helen
Helen English is a contemporary painter based near Rotorua, New Zealand, working primarily in acrylic, ink, and mixed media.
Her work centres on women within natural environments, using painterly realism and subtle abstraction to explore themes of connection, symbolism, and the relationship between people and place.
Rather than depicting the natural world as backdrop, her paintings position it as an active presence—something to engage with, respond to, and move through.
Alongside her studio practice, Helen creates mural work and exhibits both in New Zealand and internationally.
". . .bound by no boundaries, contained by no countries, tamed by no time. . ."
