Helen is known for her emotionally charged, immersive paintings that explore the raw beauty of Scotland's untamed landscapes. Working in oil, she builds complex layers of tone, texture, and colour, shifting between abstraction and realism to capture the elemental presence of land, sea, and sky.
At the heart of this new collection is Helen's enduring fascination with light - its fleeting, transformative quality, and the way it alters how we experience the world around us.
Following a Changing Light is a contemplative and atmospheric collection that invites viewers to pause, be present, and reconnect with the natural world. Each painting offers a sensory response to place - not as a fixed location, but as a felt experience where mist drifts, landforms dissolve, and memory lingers. Subtle and immersive, the work encourages us to look beyond the darkness and notice the quiet, often overlooked beauty in transition.
Experiencing Helen Glassford’s work is to step into a still, transformative moment - one that resonates long after leaving the gallery.
