Helen Mitchell

Throughout her painting career, HELEN MITCHELL has most consistently been inspired by the changing landscape of her surroundings and the subsequent exposure to varied and diverse cultures. Spending her formative years in England, she established a penchant for dark colors and monochromatic tones, but extended periods of time spent in Africa, Los Angeles and New York as well as frequent trips across the globe has had varying influences on her palette. The most prominent theme in Helen’s work is the concept of cycles, expressed primarily through her use of decaying texture; two dimensional with flat paint and plastic; three dimensional forming a sculptural ebb and flow; and multi-dimensional by directly using the largest influence in first world culture today news media. Helen has a BA Honors in Fashion and Fine Art from Trent University, England, and has spent considerable time in the media and entertainment industries, her biggest influences to date. She has exhibited as a painter in both England and Los Angeles.
