Biography

Helen Burgess studied Illustration at Falmouth College of Arts (2000-3). She finds that observational drawing keeps her perceptions bright, making collage enlivens fragments of experience and memory, and painting becomes a process of strict distillation. She lives and works in a Buddhist community in East London.

'I approach drawing as a series of wordless questions. If you can do this sincerely, you find that there is no such thing as ordinary life'
