Helen Wiltshire is a renowned artist in the tropical north, her bold, richly coloured paintings reflect the abundance of colour and movement which is typical of Mission Beach, North Queensland & the Wet Tropics. Featuring the exotic Cassowary, Ulysses butterfly, richly textured shells and colourful fish her work is splashed on canvas and provides a visual expression drawn from the wonderful wildlife & landscapes of the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage rainforests in the area in which she lives. Helen left Melbourne and a successful career in fashion design in search of a new lifestyle and has lived in Mission Beach for almost 30 years since. |
While living on Bedarra Island in the early 70's, Helen was first inspired to paint, capturing the magnificence of the tropics and her new environment. Afterwards she first opened her gallery in 1980, at her family home nestled in the rainforest at Bingil Bay.
Helen's paintings can be found in private and corporate collections around the world. She has exhibited in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Japan, Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane.
