Helen Elphinstone-King (HELKINART)
Award winning Australian Watercolour Artist, located in Belmont NSW, by the shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie, in the Hunter Valley region .. back to my love of surf, sand & sailing <3 ….
My Watercolours, are painted in the style of Semi-Realistic Impressionism, with a diverse range of subjects from Country to Coastal. All are strongly influenced from my love of sailing, boats & the ocean, add to that, growing up in the country with my horses, whilst gaining knowledge through a wide variety of experiences along the way. I’m also a Graphic Designer & Illustrator.
I enjoy entering Art Prizes, which support their local Communities and gives everyone a chance to see & buy my work as well. New paintings posted regularly to Facebook & Instagram
Artworx are also available for sale through my secure Online shop …or at my Studio in Belmont (appt only)

Last year at the Singleton Art Prize, I was thrilled to learn that one of my paintings that sold the year before, was to be used for the purpose of being the Raffle ..It was so very exciting & thank you to the Rotary Club of Singleton as well, glad it was a huge success. I’m hoping that this year will be successful too.
