With no formal training in the arts, Helen crafted her original work in papiere mache in her home. From early beginnings, she continued to experiment and was asked to exhibit her work at garden openings and craft exhibitions. One day at a craft fair, she realized that people were more interested in the wire shape support than the papiere mache itself. A few commissions encouraged her to continue, and she went on to create a whole menagerie of wire animals and birds, and has recently moved onto human forms.
