Helen Hutton (Helen May Artist) was born, raised and schooled in the Monto region. She has strong ties locally and is passionate about bringing art and cultural experiences into rural and regional communities.
“I am deeply connected to the beautiful landscapes that wrap around Monto and the differentiation in colour that each season brings.”
Having travelled and worked away, Helen has spent the last 10 years once again residing in the Monto district and is now a practicing artist and local relief teacher. She feels privileged to live, work and explore Gooreng Gooreng land. It is here where she fulfills another of her life’s passions, owning and operating a small commercial beef business and Droughtmaster Stud with her husband and two children.
Acrylic on canvas is a relatively new medium for Helen and she continues to explore the material.
“My work currently consists of large, colourful, visually expressive paintings. I use a combination of brush sizes to create vivid, gestural marks within the media. My visual language is defined by the landscape around me. As it is ever-changing - so too will be my art.”
Helen has been involved in Arts and Education for over 20 years. She holds two degrees; a Bachelor of Visual Art, majoring in Fine Art and a Bachelor of Learning Management. Both have allowed her the opportunity of being an independent artist and Secondary Education teacher throughout central Queensland, Australia.
In 2020, Helen was a Co-founder of ‘Harvest & Co Collective’ in Monto. A Not-for-profit organization designed to share the creative talents of local and regional artisans.
