Original Artworks & Silk Garments by Helena Richardson-Collins
As the founder of 2025 2025 Llanvair HR Silkworks, I bring decades of experience in creating original artworks and wearable textile art inspired by the Australian landscape. My practice spans oil and acrylic paintings, silk landscapes, and handmade felt garments, each piece reflecting a deep connection to movement, texture, and vibrant colour. With a background in dance and pottery, I channel creativity across mediums, blurring boundaries to produce timeless, one-off creations.My silk paintings require meticulous precision, as each brushstroke is irreversible, while my felt garments combine artistry with a sensitivity to feminine aesthetics. Recognised internationally for my innovative approach, my work is held in private and corporate collections globally, and I continue to accept commissions that celebrate individuality and artistic expression.
