Helen Otway is a visual artist based in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, originally from Melbourne. Her work explores the quiet spaces between place, memory, and identity, often drawing from natural surroundings, domestic life, and personal history. Using soft washes, muted tones, and layered compositions, Helen creates paintings that evoke stillness, connection, and emotional resonance. Whether depicting solitary trees, interiors, or symbolic objects, her works invite quiet reflection and a sense of belonging. Helen’s background in education and ongoing studies at the Byron School of Art inform her thoughtful, evolving practice. Her perspective is shaped by a life lived between places—coastal and inland, past and present—which brings a gentle depth to her imagery. Helen has exhibited in both regional and metropolitan galleries and is proud to be part of the Greenhouse Interiors collection of Australian artists. Her work sits comfortably in both contemporary interiors and contemplative exhibition spaces.
