Helene Hymans

Helene Hymans has been passionate about art and beauty since her early days in East London.
She was ready to go to art college when, at the age of 16 she was involved in a terrible car crash
which led to major surgery and still resulted in the loss of one of her eyes and many months
in hospital. Before the crash one of her works was exhibited in Hackney Town Hall!
Due to her lessened eyesight and the trauma after the crash her confidence and interest
in creating art was put on hold and she carried on with her ‘normal’ life. As one does she married
a rock drummer, soon to become famous with Status Quo and they had two children together.
Helene brought them up whilst her husband was on the road a lot of the time as well as
holding down many jobs - just ask! Since her amiable separation and a new partner
(Tony - also exhibiting in the Happy House) her interest in creating art has been rekindled
with a vengeance and she has taken up where she left off and is now working
solely in pastels, and creating stunning images of textures, flowers and human figures.

She feels a strong urge to draw and feels incomplete if she doesn’t do something ‘creative’ every day.
In 2004 she exhibited with the Lewes Artists Group at their exhibition and has shown work
at the Claremont Art Exhibition in Hove. The Happy House's three previous
Open Houses gave her the chance to present her early solo exhibitions and was very successful.
She is now busy working on some major new pieces for the Happy House Open House
to be held over every weekend of May this year.

Tony and Helene are getting married in September of this year!
