Helen Gries is a Melbourne based artist with a ceramic background, having worked as a potter for many years after studying ceramics at Caulfield Institute. 

Her interest lies in mashing and juxtaposing mediums - combining an interest in fabrics, photography, painting and collage. Often re-photographing works within domestic spaces and playing with light, layers and texture. 

Helen has participated in several local group and solo exhibitions.

‘For me, essentially, painting is like dancing. When you’re in the moment, it feels wonderful but it’s a long time between dances’
