Helen Wells is an artist from the South Coast of England. Her art works are intricate and organic and depict illusionary surfaces or landscapes. With multiple layers, fragments, colours and obsessive decorative details, her ethereal patterned works bring to mind elements of the natural world or magical other-worlds. Her artworks are in private collections all over the world and have featured on numerous products from book covers to wine bottles. In 2014 she co-won Winsor & Newton’s Watercolour Revolution competition which resulted in her painting being displayed in the Saatchi Gallery in London, she’s been featured in magazines and exhibited her work at one of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants in London. She became an artist later in life after working in an office job for many years. She credits her use of sketchbooks with finding her artistic style and the courage to develop her art outside of their pages. She is passionate about sketchbooks as a tool for self-discovery, play and creativity and keen to share everything she has learned along the way.
