About Helen Webber


For over thirty years, Helen Webber has created site specific art for hundreds of public and private spaces.

Working with architects and designers who have specified her work, she has created her art in many different media: glass, metal, wood, clay and fabric collage tapestries.

It is the tapestries that she is best known for, and it is this medium that dominates the largest body of her work.

Her client list covers a broad range of companies: corporations, medical facilties, religious sites, civic and community centers, colleges and universities, hotels and cruise ships (see client list).

The collection of limited edition tapestries she designed over the course of her career provides the basis for her new Giclee Tapestry Print collection.

A more personal aspect in her work is expressed in her chalk and ink brayer paintings, her drawings and watercolors often combined with her poetry.

Other aspects of her career involved writing and illustrating children’s books and licensing her designs for bedding, textiles and children’s crafts.

The work is described as ”sweeping in movement, rich in color and above all, life affirming.”

“Be it languid ladies
by a river,

or a family celebrating
the harvest in a tent,

or birds streaming
through a misty sky,

or a forest of animals
sheltered by brocaded trees,

Or a message of hope cut from velvet and wool,

It is my hope that these images created in clay or fabric or paint or glass or print, touch the souls of others.”
