HELEN SIMMONDS
Artist
Helen Simmonds depicts classic still life subjects in oils; from fruit or flowers found in local markets, ceramics scoured from antique or bric a brac shops to objects that carry more lasting memories for the artist. She is drawn to an object by its shape, colour, the way the light plays on its surface; an unspecified quality which catches or delights her interests.
In the tradition of still life painting, Simmonds paints all her subjects from life, using only natural light. She prefers natural light as it brings more life to her experieience of painting; delighting in the variations to a still life set up the shifting light creates.
Her work can be seen at the Jonathan Cooper Gallery, London. www.jonathancooper.co.uk
and the Alexander Gallery, Bristol
