Helen Agalawatte - Rocky Shore - Acrylic on wood panel in wood floater frame

Helen Grace Agalawatte paints vibrant acrylic landscapes with a contemporary take on scenes of lakes, rocks & trees. Originally from Scotland, she currently resides in Richmond Hill, Ontario, and is very much inspired by the Ontario landscape. She goes on hiking and kayaking trips where she gathers photographs and sketches to bring back to her home studio. Her practice is guided by curiosity and a love of experimentation, often using palette knives and silicone scraper tools to make the bold, textural marks that show up in her work.

Helen is self-taught through many online and in-person workshops. She started showing her work in local juried art shows, immediately winning several awards. She is an active member of Richmond Hill Group of Artists and has participated in the annual Richmond Hill Studio Tour, opening her studio up to the public. Her work is placed in various private collections across Canada, the US and the UK. Helen is represented by Micak Contemporary Art Gallery in Aurora, Ontario
