Helen_threeboysWEBWe Love, Love, Love our painting! It was referenced from a photograph taken by my niece,Schuyler, who is a budding photographer. And my boys all looks so extremely happy I just wanted to capture the moment forever! And yes, usually they are the best of friends.” – Helen

This is another commission from Christmas. I really enjoyed creating this! These brothers look like the best of friends, the way they have their arms around each other 🙂 One of my most favorite things about creating art for others, is learning about those whom I am painting/drawing and imagining what their life is/was like and connecting with their spirits through art! ♥

About the Artist

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
