Helen Sklarz

Artist Bio

I am a Toronto-based artist who enjoys exploring subjects that speak to me, one brushstroke at a time. By painting exclusively in oils, I create fine details, blend colours and create gradients which are notable in my paintings. I describe my work as representational impressionism, which allows me to portray not just my subjects’ essence but also the emotions they evoke in me. I choose subjects that invite me into their world or make me smile, hoping to convey these reactions to the viewer. I have participated in a number of local art exhibitions and was honoured to receive a Best Oil and several Honourable Mention awards. Some of my work can be seen at the Sybil Frank Gallery in Wellington, Ontario. Please visit my website www.helensklarz.com and follow me on Instagram @helensklarz_art.
