ABOUT THE ARTIST – HELEN LEIGH:
Helen Leigh has been an artist for 13 years and has had 5 major exhibitions including 2 charity auctions for the Cancer Society & Christchurch City Mission.
Her Art is a Celebration of Colour and Animals, she experiments with the personification of inanimate objects and giving them human qualities which is designed to provoke a feeling; (subconscious or otherwise) in the viewer of our connection to all things & to remind us that all things Feel, grow, and have their place alongside us to reciprocally enjoy.

This show is about the feelings evoked in the 'Spirit' through the medium of Helen's favourite subject: Animals. And is to pass on what she loves in order to raise money so she can also do what she loves! Please support her!
