From My Studio: Exploring Helen Alice Johnson’s Creative Process
Each week, Helen Alice Johnson takes inspiration from the natural world that surrounds her in Alston, Cumbria. Her paintings reflect the landscapes, gardens, and changing seasons, offering viewers a glimpse into the beauty of nature. In this blog, Helen shares the moments that spark her creativity, from a walk in the countryside to the sight of a flower blooming in her garden.

In the Studio: Week 43
I have now finished all 27 of my abstract landscape oil paintings inspired by rivers both in the UK and Northern France. Join me here as I wrap and pack them all ready for a major exhibition in London at The Old Cinema in Chiswick.
I have also been experimenting with homemade pigments and show you my method, as I begin to think about a more sustainable option for my next set of paintings.
In The Studio: Week 36
Another busy week in my studio! I have finished two smaller abstract landscapes inspired by a visit to Richmond on Thames in London and started a large abstract with inspiration from an en plein air visit to Henley On Thames, where I sat by the river bank with a view of Temple Island and occasional rowers. I continue to work towards my solo exhibition in November of all my river paintings from 2023 at The Old Cinema in Chiswick. Watch here to see how I am getting on!
