Conversation with Helen Kwok

We're in conversation with Helen Kwok today. Helen's a Vancouver-based artist who follows her fascination wherever it leads, exploring many avenues of creative expression: intuitive collage, quilt design, watercolour, urban sketching and mixed media in altered books. She remains dedicated to the handcrafted art form by exploring the tactile and textural possibilities of materials and pigments,. Her work evokes a sense of simplicity, naturalness and spontaneity. To play, to experiment and to see what divine inspiration reveals, all this keeps the creative process fresh and meaningful. Throughout this art journey, she has learned to trust, let go of control and surrender to the creative force that offers up many unexpected and mysterious treasures.
