Helena Wadsley

Live and work in Vancouver, Canada. So many aspects of paint inspire me, from the history of materials like encaustic, egg tempera, and the development of oils to post-modern applications and subject. Currently, I am exploring different techniques, and painting whatever catches my eye, defying a signature style because I am not ready, hope I am never ready, to settle down.
