Introducing the artwork of Australian artist, Helena Richardson-Collins

Inspired by movement, texture, vibrant colours and the Australian landscape, the artwork of Helena Richardson-Collins expresses her unique and creative spirit. Not confined to one artistic medium, Helena expertly moves through a range of different mediums, at times blurring the distinctions, to create beautiful, unique and classic artworks and silk cloth or felt garments that are at once classic and timeless.

Browse this site to discover Helena’s richly textured canvases with layers of vibrant paint that add dimension and depth or hand painted silk artworks and beautiful silk clothes, ‘wearable art’ creations and one-off classic felted garments. Each piece is created as a unique stand alone artwork.

With many years of working within the challenging medium of silk painting, Helena has refined her technique. Each brushstroke is permanent and offers no margin for error. Helena carefully considers the colours and composition to create beautiful unique silk paintings and silk cloth garments inspired by the Australian landscape. Her handmade felt garments are beautifully made and create a stand-alone wearable art piece.

Helena’s works have been exhibited in Victorian regional galleries, private galleries and corporate gallery spaces. She has been involved in collaborative exhibitions and displayed work in private homes throughout Europe, United Kingdom, United States of America, China, Scotland and Japan.

With a new gallery opening in Bendigo in mid-August, you can now see firsthand the visual vibrancy of her large colourful canvasses and handmade silk cloth and felt garments.
