Helen Hunter is a painter, specializing in oils. With a BA in history and a BFA in drawing and painting, her work is often influenced by historical motifs and research. Helen has developed an intuitive compositional method that involves drawing from her historical background, affinity for esoterica, and personal experiences with trauma, mental illness, and motherhood. Helen’s goal is to make work that speaks to others with shared physical and psychological experiences, fostering a sense of connection through exposing and engaging those elements of life often labeled “taboo.”

Broadly, Helen’s work explores identity, anger, connection, and power, and pulls imagery from early human history, mythology, and, of all things, pro-wrestling.
