HELEN TATE

Helen is brought up in the Swedish countryside together with her parents and two sisters, closely connected to nature. Her work is an expression of stories she finds in words, music but above all nature. She sees herself as a multidisciplinary artist. She has since then lived in Holland and on the Isle of Man before settling down in the Maresme hills with her husband, children and dogs. She seeks a balance between the controlled and the unforeseen, observing her interest in Japanese aesthetics, with wabi-sabi as her strongest influence; the relationship between nature and all imperfections. ‘I want my work to evoke the same sense of calm I experience when immersed in my surroundings: where the elements speak to me, connecting me to nature and inspiring reflection’
