Meet the Artist - Helen Rowland

Experiencing the landscape is Helen Rowland's starting point for creating but her paintings are essentially abstract. Helen's work is a visual response to the multi-sensory experiences imprinted in her memory: sounds of birds and nature, wind on skin, marks in the land.

Phenomenal artworks result, playing with colour shifts, saturated and desaturated colours. Expressive marks and energetic lines celebrate the freedom and joy that can be drawn from the beautiful landscapes of East Yorkshire, with abstract landscapes and seascapes inspired by Helen's experience of running in open spaces and walking along the East Yorkshire coast.
