Have a look at Helen Elliott's Slideshow
What is your name? Helen Elliott
Where do you work? Newcastle Emlyn
How did you get started as an artist?
Colouring in. This I've always loved, and although when I began painting professionally I painted in a 'proper' manner, I soon reverted to my love of colouring in!
How would you describe your work?
My work is in a naive style. One of biggest influences is Lowri. I am a member of the Association of British Naive Artists.
Do you draw inspiration from your local area?
Paintings are always of local areas, within about a 50 mile radius. Local architecture and communities are what inspire me.
Where has your work been shown?
Nationally and locally; at present I stay with local galleries as my work is of this area. Galleries currently exhibiting my work include Pendre Arts, Cardigan, St Dogmaels Gallery, St Dogmaels; Trefin; Oriel Gorwel, Carmarthen; Origen Dyfed Carmarthen; The Gallery, Narbeth and Fountain Fine Arts, Llandeilo.
Do you have any exhibitions coming up?
I am planning a special exhibition for Easter at Aberglasney.
Any thing else we should know?
