About Helena Horsley
I love mostly Nature and the Great Wildernesses of the world. It’s the very first spark to my artistic inspiration. I love texture, detail, layers and depth. I am also very diverse in my subject choice. I use a variety of techniques, mixed mediums, and interesting styles. This allows myself freedom to explore and express my feelings and emotions in a spontaneous and free intuitive way.
They are always positive vibes expressing connections with our mother nature.
