Her ceramics are sold exclusively through the Arts Village Collective, where she also serves as Retail Executive, supporting a vibrant community of local artists and makers. Helen regularly exhibits at The Arts Village and contributes to Rotorua’s thriving creative landscape.

Alongside her artistic practice, Helen runs an Allied Health Administration Consultancy, bringing her operational expertise to clinical and health-based organisations.

Helen's work is inspired by texture, colour and the beauty of handmade objects, with every piece created to be both functional and unique.
