Helen Shideler CSPWC, SCA
Award Winning Canadian Artist
Welcome
I’m thrilled that you are here! Hello, I’m Helen. When I am not in my home studio in Quispamsis painting I can be found in various locations either painting Plein Air or out with my camera capturing reference photos or both.
For me painting is a celebration of light, texture and colour. I constantly strive to hold myself to the highest standards. Usually painting in series, I like to explore my subjects often in various mediums -focusing on intimate detail and saturated colour. I like to imagine that I am sculpting with paint. Over the years, this approach has allowed me to developed my distinctive style.
I alway approach my art with enthusiasm and energy. My preferred subjects are from the natural world, in particular flowers, animals and birds and sea & landscapes and sometimes people.

My journey into the art world began at a young age, inspired by the natural beauty of Cape Breton that enveloped day day life.
