Helen Wiltshire Gallery

Amongst the lush rainforest of Tropical North Queensland lives a small pocket of beauty, the coastal town of Mission Beach. Bordering the Great Barrier Reef, this world Heritage listed location is truly a place of significance for more than one reason.

It’s captivating flora and fauna was the soul inspiration of renowned artist, Helen Wiltshire. She was able to capture the untouched, pristine beauty of Far North Queensland like no other with her extensive knowledge of its scenery. Charmed by this tropical utopia, Helen immersed herself in the world of art, expressing her love for the reef, rainforest and birdlife of North Queensland within bold, richly coloured paintings and prints. Emerging as an artist in the late 1970’s, Helen’s artwork quickly became internationally recognised for its unique style and interpretation of the tropics, being exhibited widely across Australia and also in Japan and the USA.

The Helen Wiltshire Gallery is an icon of Mission Beach, it began as ‘The Bingil Bay Gallery’ in 1980 at Helens family home nestled in the rainforest across from the beach at Bingil Bay and expanded to open in Wongaling Beach and then Mission Beach Village as ‘The Helen Wiltshire Gallery’.  Helen had successful galleries in Cairns, Hamilton Island, Port Douglas and Palm Cove.  Through her galleries Helen was able to showcase her own work and also foster the lifestyle and careers of many local artists living in the area.  In doing so Helen played a great role in enriching the arts culture and history of Mission Beach and it’s tropical islands as a haven for artists.
