Helen was born in London but grew up in the heart of Wales. She studied Fine Art at Coventry and a master of Printmaking at Chelsea School of Art. After two print residencies she became a master editioner for artist Brenda Hartill. Twelve years ago she set up 'Bodenpress' printmaking studio for intaglio and relief techniques. There are printmaking courses for small groups and print sessions for artists to use the facilities with assistance.
