Helen Cantrell at The White Gallery in Lakeville Connecticutt

“I need lots of color in an image that strikes me. I use a lot of drips and flung slashes of paint. The result is expressive pieces in which swaths of yellow, orange, and violet evoke paths and fields and features a mix of abstraction and figuration, with vibrant bright hues, visible brushwork, and a sense of calm."

Cantrell has been painting and making prints full time for the past 20 years, most recently large‐scale woodcuts and landscape paintings in an expressionist gestural  style.
