About the Artist:
Helene Pappas is a Watercolorist who enjoys its qualities, vast techniques, and making
hand-made or manipulated papers to create texture and color to her creations. Mixed
media offers exciting extensions of creativity and broadening a concept to enhance and
define the subject matter via inks, pastels, pencils, or other mediums. Discovering or
experimenting with new techniques is fun and rewarding when enhancing a creative
work! Influenced by a creative family, attending museums, art events, traveling, mingling with diverse cultures, visiting local cultural centers or off-road adventures, B.A. Design from U.C.L.A. and studying with artists Ande Lau Chen and Ilana Block have impelled
Helene's desire for artistic expressions via painting, dress design, interior design, and
gardening. The elements of water or ocean themes are key components in her visions
and expressed via jellyfish collages, ocean interpretations, and other elements of fascination. A resident of the Florida Panhandle, Helene continues to experiment, execute her creative endeavors, and actively connects with the local arts scene while accessing the richness of the community.
