Helen Bates
Artist
As an only child, I spent all my time drawing and making whatever I could with whatever materials I could get hold of. I can still remember my DIY doll's house, made entirely of cardboard boxes and scraps of leftover wallpaper!
Ever since those early days I have been passionate about creating art, taking inspiration from my travels and the everyday creativity that surrounds us all.
I studied Visual Cultures at University which gave me an appreciation of the visual environment and many great artists. I experiment with all art mediums and love using colour and movement in my work.
