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

Inspired by the Walthamstow Wetlands in high summer, Helen’s ‘Whispering Wetlands’ captures the moment when green gives way to gold beneath the heat of the sun. At sunset, the horizon shimmers with quiet light, and the marshes seem to murmur their own stories. What secrets might they share if they could speak? Perhaps tales of the hidden explosives factory that once stood here for over three centuries.
