HELEN HANSON

Etchings with Aquatint

Helen Hanson taught Languages before becoming a professional artist. She is a member of the Society of Botanical Artists and the highly successful Greenwich Printmakers. She has work in galleries throughout Britain, Europe and Australia.

Her etchings combine detail and pattern with the changing aspects of the land. Colours, moods and textures resonate from one plate to the next in a series of closely related images. 

In her light, bright South London studio she builds up her body of work from sketches and photographs from her walks. The most important element is a strong sense of place. "I still interpret and translate things. Now it's into aquatint and open bite".
