PAPER - FABRIC - THREAD
Helyne Jennings is a multimedia artist known for her experimental abstract textile art and captivating paper wall pieces. After graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1981, Helyne has solidified her reputation as a contemporary textile and mixed media art creator, exhibiting both nationally and internationally. Her artwork is featured in numerous private and public collections, including the esteemed Craft Council Collection.
Throughout her artistic journey, Helyne has been an active member of the Craft Council Directory and Find A Maker, and she is currently showcasing her work with Make Southwest and the Devon Artists Network.
Helyne's original artworks are crafted using thread, stitch, and paint, exploring deep emotions through the interplay of colour, shape, and texture within her textile art.
"For me, ideas are triggered through emotion—a response to either a current event or an inspiring visual. These pieces rapidly evolve as I layer different media to create depth and nuance in both colour and texture," she explains.
"My passion for experimental textiles and stitch has always been strong, but the techniques I've developed while creating wall pieces have expanded into various practices, including art jewellery, print, and photography."
Now residing in Devon, Helyne works from her home studio nestled in her garden, where she continues to produce her unique wearable art and explore new creative directions.
