Helen Musselwhite

By the use of bold colour, strong graphic line and familiar images Helen creates highly individual and visually appealing pieces of art that make an instant impact. Her work has a distinctive hand-crafted quality that pays respect to all forms of mid twentieth-century design, folk and ethnic art, as well as current and future trends.

Each piece combines the hand cutting, folding and scoring of a wide range of papers and card that are further worked on to create patterned and textured surfaces. They are then used to build scenes in box frames which are often complex and consist of many layers. This process means that each item of work is truly individual with no two pieces the same. Influenced by the natural world, each piece is manipulated to become an intriguing place, a glimpse into another world of fiction and fairytale. Each piece of work is handmade in Helen\'s studio in the northwest of Britain.
