Helen M Kaminsky

After 30 years of living in London I moved back to the North West of England and am now based in Congleton, Cheshire, where I share a studio with 4 other artisans, Vale Artists Studios. My work has evolved through various mixed media techniques, including encaustic art (an ancient art-form of painting with wax). I draw my inspiration from nature and everyday life and love the challenges and excitement of experimenting with different mediums, changing the style to suit the subject and the effects I want to create.

I am a self-taught artist but have been inspired to work in mixed media following a part-time mixed media course at St Martins College of Art,
