Helen
Drummond grew up in the mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina.
She began painting at age 9 but, in response to her parents, pursued music
instead. After having had a career as a music teacher, Helen
realized that she needed to follow her passion; oil painting. What
started as an avocation quickly became a profession. Landscape is her
main milieu. She has always loved nature; climbing trees, going to the
mountains and to the ocean, all to satisfy her need for spiritual renewal.
The Pacific Northwest is the subject of
most of her paintings. However, she has driven across the US many times,
traveled in Mexico, Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, England, and Canada.
Memories of her travels often show up in a particular composition. Trees in
landscape are her specialty. A gallery executive called Helen “The Painter
of Trees”. Fellow artists say, “Helen's trees have soul." She lives
in Shoreline, WA with her husband.
