Drawing secures you in the present; it is a meditation, a discipline and a vital form of expression.

Helen Edwards is a creative practitioner in Oxfordshire, specialising in drawing and printmaking. Her teaching covers all age groups and needs, from one-day workshops, regular Saturday classes and drop-in life drawing and portraiture sessions, to ongoing art tuition for students of all ages and stages of their academic life. Helen’s own practice centres around a love for natural forms, from Greco Roman statues to the botanical world around us.

“Helen's strength lies in fostering a warm and relaxed atmosphere in the classroom that facilitates an environment in which students feel free to express themselves. She encourages students to work outside of their comfort zones and push what they think is possible from their current abilities, as well as explore extra-curricular qualifications that complement and add to their schoolwork. Colleague-to-colleague she is always there to talk through issues you might be having with your own practice and instills confidence in you through gentle encouragement. Any workplace would be lucky to have Helen with her wide breadth of knowledge in her subject as well as her long-standing practice as a teacher.”                                                                                  Daniel McNaboe – Colleague & Artist
