about the artist

For local Walthamstow artist Helen Chambers, each painting is a journey of discovery. As she layers paint upon the surface she is continually responding to the ever-changing palette, marks and textures before her. The natural world is her anchor and she employs an expressive, intuitive approach to mark making – taking the finished works outside the boundaries of realism. Her landscapes sit in that intriguing space between abstraction and representation – vibrant and immersive.

the story

“Misty Roses” forms part of Helen’s ongoing series of paintings written as visual letters to her younger self. At the centre of the series sits a simple reassurance - even when life feels uncertain and creativity seems to drift out of reach, something steady lies ahead.

This painting leans into the feeling of falling in romantic love - that soft, slightly disorienting moment when everything begins to shift. Hazy layers of blush and warm tones drift across the surface, veiling deeper colours beneath, capturing the vulnerability and anticipation of new connection - immersive, hopeful and gently transformative.
