HELEN SMITH
Originally from Birmingham in the UK, Helen Smith is an artist with an eye for detail and a flair for taking detail into the abstract. With a love of traditional techniques at the core of her practise, each collection of Smith’s work is a response to a place, a visual record created through experimenting with materials.
Helen Smith trained in Fine Art, at University of Wales, Aberystwyth before obtaining a PGCE in teaching at Bath Spa University. Since then she has taught Art and Design across Europe over the last 14 years.
Since a first trip to Florence many years ago, Smith fell in love with Italy. She lived for a year in Padova and now spends her time between the UK and the beautiful region of Molise in central Italy where she has found a place she considers her second home.
