Helen Dryden
 
 
About the Artist


My work covers eclectic subject matter, often inspired by daydreams and my imagination, sometimes representational, using appropriated imagery from magazines and books and my own photographs; sometimes abstract. My practice is instinctive and intuitive, and encompasses photography, drawing and painting.
