Helen Pomphrey is a mixed media artist working primarily in oil, but also using collage, textural layering and photo transfer techniques across her artwork. She studied painting and sculpture at Edinburgh College of Art and Grays School of Art, Aberdeen. Throughout her career, Pomphrey’s artwork has been firmly rooted in the Scottish colourist tradition, with bold compositional patterns and a vibrant colour palette. Her love of landscape is evident throughout; recent journeys to Southern Australia, the outback of New South Wales and Queensland have informed her recent collections. She relays past and present histories in conjunction with one another, evoking both the permanency of human creation and inevitable change over time. Pomphrey has lectured at 3 major design universities in Ireland. She has private collections in Ireland, UK, France and USA and has been Commissioned for editorials in Image Magazine, Irish Tatler, Irish Times, Irish Independent and Poolbeg Press.
