G’day and Welcome
G’day I’m Helen……
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. They are strongly influenced by my love of sailing, boats & the ocean, alongside my country upbringing with my horses, add to that, a wide range of experiences along the way.
I’m also a Professional Graphic Designer & Illustrator.
Enjoy entering many Art Prizes that support their local Communities as it also gives everyone a chance to see & buy my work away from my Studio. Many Art collectors have purchased my paintings, who are both local & International and are always quite eager to see my new work & add to their collections, with new paintings posted regularly to Facebook & Instagram.
