Helen discovered her passion for textiles and art in her early 20s, when a friend introduced her to printmaking through lino printing at home. This experience inspired her exploration of screen printing on fabric, and she went on to study screen printing, repeat patterns, and printed design at East London Printmakers and Morley College in London. Driven by a commitment to sustainability, Helen later adopted ecological approaches to screen printing, experimenting with natural inks and dyes to create unique, environmentally conscious designs.

Her extensive textile experience includes weaving, quilt-making, embroidery, upholstery, painted fabric design, and screen printing. Helen currently works with diverse mediums such as cyanotype, seasonal natural dyes, and shibori, crafting her art with a sensitivity to nature and tradition. Her studies have taken her across the UK and Greece, and in 2023, she participated in the Thread Caravan weaving retreat. Helen also studied at the Royal School of Needlework in London, where she deepened her expertise in textile arts.
