Helen Hancocks

    This author explores the playful interplay between visual storytelling and text, drawing from a diverse range of media in her creative practice. Her illustrations, frequently featuring feline subjects, are crafted through a unique blend of crayon, watercolor, ink, and pen, which are then combined digitally. This process allows for a subtle fusion of traditional techniques with contemporary artistry, resulting in engaging visual narratives. Her approach to creation emphasizes the value of quiet observation and reflective pauses, essential elements that spark the gentle emergence of ideas before they are translated into compelling works.
