Comet - an original by Helen


About a year ago, Helen started getting an itch to paint. Old school, messy, splatter-on-the-rug art. She's always been very creative, but mostly on the digital frontier. She was doing 2D and 3D computer animation before most of us knew what that even meant, and although the samples are pretty basic compared to what can be done today, you gotta remember that Helen created those 15 years ago using a "blazing fast 40MHz" Apple IIfx with a maximum capacity of 128 MB of RAM. Incredible.

Her artistic ambition has really flowered over the past year through her exploration of colors and textures. "Comet" is her latest work and hangs in the gallery outside our bedroom.
