Helen has always had a mutual love of Art and Science. From a young age, she loved nothing more than exploring artistic pursuits with a paintbrush, pastels or chemistry set.
Years on, Helen pursued her love of pigments, colour and paint through a degree in Science at The University of Melbourne majoring in both Geology and Chemistry. This was followed by a PhD in chemistry, where Helen investigated the degradation mechanisms that occur in Polyurethane paint exposed to uv/sunlight.
Helen now happily pursues her artistic endeavours (without the chemistry set), particularly in mixed mediums and resin technology. |
