about a painter and printmaker
As a painter and printmaker, Helen Ashmead enjoys using different mediums to create her visions of the natural world in both realistic manners and symbolic ways to depict different states of perception emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Her favorite subjects include flowers and landscapes, animals, birds, and angels. Most works are representational, but abstracts are included. Strong, pure colors are frequently employed with the desire to evoke feelings of joy and light.
Her works have been exhibited along the east coast and are in private collections across the country and across the Atlantic Ocean. Helen has received awards for her paintings, relief prints, and etchings, but the rewards she values most are when collectors choose to have one of her paintings or prints for their own.
Helen continues to challenge herself by expanding her vision of her subjects, and in doing so finds that the style and medium used for each work follows its own path. Other interests include neuroscience and using the arts to enhance one’s life. She continues to pursue her love of art in her home studio along the St Johns River.
