Helen Lloyd Elliot
I am a British artist and live and work in Dorset and London. Ever since I can remember, I have been happiest with a pencil or paintbrush in my hands. From early childhood, I was obsessed with nature and would spend every spare minute in the garden, studying and drawing plants, flowers and insects.
Primarily a landscape and portrait painter my work is my visual diary; a recording of the light, colours space and form found in the objects and places that make up the living world. The act of putting charcoal to paper and oil to canvas is a compulsion that gives me great joy.
