Helen Norman
Although being born in Plymouth l have recently returned from living in France where l exhibited my collages for over 10 years.The St.Malo region of Brittany really inspired me with it’s beautiful emerald light encapsulated there as it had many of the impressionists before me.l had studied Art in Bristol(RWA)and always been a successful oil painter until l discovered collage!l had enjoyed my teaching career and decided to concentrate on this dynamic,eco friendly medium. Now back living in Gloucestershire l can concentrate on depicting collages of local scenes,people,seascapes and cockerels for which l am best known.l love the freedom and challenges that torn newsprint gives me with its monotone or vibrant colours. I exhibit my work in Cheltenham and Ledbury. My collages are collected by Parisians,British and Americans alike ,one now being in the Ford Art Collection. I am a member of COS the Cheltenham Open Studios My work currently hangs in the Chapel Arts Cheltenham.
