About
Helen Beard (b.1971) Born in Birmingham, Helen studied at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design before going on to develop a fifteen-year career as an assistant art director in the film industry. Exploring and celebrating the erotic experience, using a vibrant colour palette and brushstrokes ‘like the touch on skin’, her work evokes a landscape of intimacy in its use of bold and abstract forms.
