Meet Helen Dynes
My name is Helen, I studied Graphic Design to Masters level in the UK and have taught art in tertiary education for over 30 years, including Art as Therapy at Hawkes Bay regional Prison, for almost 5 years.
I strongly believes that art is a form of therapy. Art allows you to express your own creativity. Often lying dormant, because of work or life commitments. Many people don’t get around to this form of self-help until they are ‘retired’ or suddenly find they have that precious commodity- time, on their hands.’
My sessions are small and personable. So if you’re interested or would like to know more, get in touch!
What People Are Saying
Helen`s classes are so much more than learning how to draw and paint. Without ever lecturing, “Helen`s Way”, guides you to develop your individual talents. She opens windows to your creativity, stretching you, supporting you as the creative human experience of painting becomes an integral part of your life.
— Maxine (Mixed Media)
Throughout many years my art journey in Helen`s classes has been not only enjoyable but inspired me to find my individual artistic style. Constantly learning different techniques, using a range of materials etc always leads to more creative ideas and the journey is not over yet!
— Camellia (Mixed Media)
I atteneded a mixed media workshop with Helen Dynes Studio D at Waiohiki Creative Arts Village. The 5 week workshop really helped me to break through a creative block I’ve been having for a number of years and now I’m now creating again! Thank you very much Helen. The workshop was really enjoyable and I loved the marbling and trying new things and refreshing on others.
