Through painting I harness the uplifting moments spent with my loved ones and make visual how they carry energetic imprints. Memory and sensory experience are held together as meeting points in which past, present and future coexist in a way that celebrates the interconnectedness of all things. The quiet poetry found in nature are echoed through a form of embodied muscle-based memory, the marks are made in a way that feels like the brush already knows where to go. Repeating strokes in a softer hue or translucency, mirror how memories can blur, fade and soften at the edges. Primarily painting on natural linen with oil paint, the surface develops through overlapping inky-washes, veils of glazes hinting at previous layers and drips that slowly descend, suspended when dried as if holding time in place. Playing with the oil paint, with its almost edible, spreadable texture, lends itself to a slow, patient way of working. During periods of waiting I'm searching for a balance between knowing when to pause and spontaneous bursts of movement. I find moments of stillness in my practice, that quiet space between intention and instinct. I’m listening, lingering, waiting to act from a place of response. The untouched silent spaces exist as something more than an absence, its where the breath comes from. Helen’s paintings offer the viewer a moment to slow down, pause and reflect, noticing their own memories of memories in amongst the liminal layers. BIO Originally from Bristol, Helen now lives in Cornwall and paints from her light and tranquil garden studio surrounded by trees. She embarked on the intensive year-long St. Ives School of Painting ‘Porthmeor Programme 2023’ and has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in St. Ives, Falmouth, Newquay and the Royal Cornwall museum. Her work is now in private collections throughout the UK, USA, Germany, Austria, The Netherlands and New Zealand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1770466336841-QEI2ZTMJRG9MS7QWKCTO/IMG_E2735.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1770466391680-ANDOURQZ7A7KP3DOYOHY/IMG_E1703.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1761237870833-3EF6NCWV8OZYS4N1HP0B/IMG_E1369.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1762004995589-F6H8PDJ4USVFHL3ELS8J/IMG_E1426.JPG About https://helenleaverart.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-04-11 https://helenleaverart.com/gallery1 daily 0.75 2026-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1678699704444-QEBVZ3PBB7QS0S45T45C/image-asset.jpeg Gallery https://helenleaverart.com/home daily 1.0 2026-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1678699690907-VM144CWLEUXY98ORBZ15/image-asset.octet-stream Home - Belgrade 2 Theatre Coventry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1678699713904-9KSCQ65HDEQCJP6IJ7G8/josh-nuttall-XVTWFHcNIko-unsplash+%281%29.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1770120814024-GR1HDZ9N1L21VNUZLVVH/Helen+Leaver+home.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1678699711757-C7QHJO27Z8PCT4H8EW8Z/cropped.jpg Home - Bla blah → Etiam feugiat auctor massa dignissim elementum nunc molestie fringilla. https://helenleaverart.com/events daily 0.75 2026-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1777658101998-R0G2Q06P8VPUJLDNI6RF/IMG_E3839.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1777658044794-VL78MI0SDEXROEERG170/IMG_E3828.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640eeca0570b4f24067e4332/1777658076740-3EA19DBNB11QRSY3OV1P/IMG_E3836.JPG Events https://helenleaverart.com/gallery daily 0.75 2023-03-30 https://helenleaverart.com/privacy daily 0.75 2023-03-30 https://helenleaverart.com/shipping-and-terms daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://helenleaverart.com/shop daily 0.75 2024-01-22
