Product Description


Thames Tapestry is the smallest of three paintings created after a visit to Richmond on Thames. This abstract piece captures the intricate tapestry of life found in this vibrant part of London, where the interaction between people and nature around the river is at the forefront.

Painting en plein air, Helen uses her surroundings as more than a visual reference—absorbing the full experience of a place.

The result is a dynamic, textured composition that reflects the complex layers of life around the Thames, fusing together elements like nature, architecture, and human activity.
