Helen Brauns is an Australian artist interested in capturing the vivid beauty of the Australian landscape and native plants. She also enjoys recreating the beauty she sees in everyday life. Her subjects include Murray River red gum trees, wildflowers, seascapes the Australian bush and a range of still life images. Brauns uses a vibrant contemporary style to recreate her subjects, mostly with acrylic paint on canvas. She creates strong compositions enhancing them by layering glazes of colour for depth and using strong brushstrokes to build texture.
Brauns discovered painting at Sixteen. After school, she studied fashion design at the Melbourne College of Textiles from 1980 - 1982. She then spent 30 years in the newspaper and magazine advertising industry.
In 2010, Brauns returned to her painting practice. Under the mentorship of Dawn Csutoros , she experimented with paints, brush techniques and subject matter to create her bold style.
She lives in Melbourne, Australia.
Helen Brauns art can be viewed at Kapi Art Space in the Dandenog Rangers and at "Ashy's Cafe", 305 High Street. Ashburton.
