Helen Williamson

I am a practicing artist and freelance photographer, and I also get involved in many other areas in the visual arts: for example I am currently painting sets for a play, and am starting to put together a book of photographic work.
 
I graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor of Design, with a  major in Visual Communication.
 
I have worked the last 3 years in the print production industry, doing photography and photo retouching for various magazines.  
 
My work usually involves and talks about the natural environment, people, and our relationship with the world around us. I am interested in focusing on interesting or unusual moments in life, or using powerful imagery from nature to encourage deep reflection on what it means to exist. My work can be meditative, humorous, or challenging, and I hope inspires people to reach new levels in their thinking and experience of life.
