Helena Thomas

I would describe myself as a city dwelling country girl – whilst spending many years working in London following a career in publishing design, as a farmer’s daughter my heart is fuelled by all things natural and hand crafted. I work from my cabin studio, next to an unkempt plant and creature filled pond at the bottom of my garden, I am both calmed and driven by the natural beauty that surrounds me.

As an experienced designer and art director, I have worked across a broad range of magazines over the years – from client-based contract publishing to fast paced newspaper weeklies, from glossy interior monthlies to glamorous haute-couture and stylish textile specials.

After a decade of raising a family and exploring other areas of art and design, such as print making and ceramics, I now have the privilege of working with, and nurturing, the creative aspiration of pupils at several private schools. What better combination to inspire me than growing these budding creative seeds simultaneously!
