Artist Talk - Helen Sherriff at the ALC Library

Helen Sherriff is an experienced, award winning artist who graduated with Honours in Visual Art (University of South Australia, 2013) but her art career began as a commercial artist in 1969. Art teaching, community art work, murals, solo and group exhibitions followed. Her techniques and traditions include painting, woodcarving, textiles, and iconography. “I use old, often broken things, repurposed and redirected, as lives can be. The original brokenness works alongside the newness, adding strength. My art making has helped me to see how spiritual meaning is encased in the material world.”
