"What excites me about looking at plants is that in their silent way they are always moving; movement that is inherent in their structure, a structure that gives echoes of what has gone on before and hints of what is to follow, hints and echoes that leave a mystery for us to fathom how we will." www.helensimpsonartist.co.uk Helen studied art at Banbury College of Art, then at the Royal Academy Schools, London. She regularly shows her work and has had exhibitions in Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Gloucestershire, Dorset and London, the most significant being Kew Gardens Gallery, in Kew Gardens London, where she had 30 pictures on show.
