Artist of the Month

Helen Derbyshire

My work is about is about the textures and mood of landscape – focusing sometimes on the details of vegetation and sometimes on evoking a sense of space, light and weather. I draw and use digital photography, almost always in combination with experimental textile and mixed media techniques.

I am one of 4 members of Norwich based artist group Presence. We make and exhibit work individually and collectively.
