Shyama Helin

I am a painter and scratchboard artist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. My work explores our emotional and spiritual connection to the natural world — moments of awe, intimacy, solitude and wonder. Working with ink, scratchboard and paint, I combine highly detailed mark-making with simplified, dreamlike landscapes to create images that invite the viewer to slow down and enter the scene.
