Hi, I’m Helen Smithson, an artist, photographer and illustrator based in Rutland.

STUFF. We have more than we could ever need – or in the words of Dr Seuss – thneed. Given that this website has things to sell this is a conundrum. Without ‘stuff’ there would be no need to create or invent. All I can suggest is that the ethos here at Helen Smithson HQ is simply one of careful consumption not careless consumption.

Shop

Everything on this site from the Giclée papers to the jute twine, recycled boxes and tissue used for packaging is as ecologically-friendly as possible.

Portfolio

Here’s a few of the things I’ve been getting up to for the past three decades. It’s a small selection but there is a lot more and not all of it is in the roof with the spiders, cobwebs and Christmas decorations. If you would like a digital art print of a specific item of work, or if you were interested in more work of a certain genre, please do get in touch.
