This week's featured PWAS Spotlight Artist...
Helen Joyce Burroughs
Date: 5/3/2023
Artist Style: Abstract, landscapes, mixed media
Artist Mediums: oil pastel, acrylic, textile
Artist Bio:
Helen grew up in 1960s Los Angeles with the warmth of the sun; palm trees; ocean breezes; the sound of cool jazz; and gardens filled with bougainvillea, roses, camellias and gladiolus.
Color has the most impact on her art with the repetition of forms, light, and colors. Texture is created with silk, cotton, wool and gels. Her work ranges from abstract to representational.
The only message she wants to convey is one of joy. She wants the viewer to feel happy, at peace and perhaps intrigued, when they enjoy the light, color, texture and movement of her art.
