Helen Musselwhite

Helen studied graphic design and illustration and has worked in the creative world ever since – from an early incarnation designing and making decorative home accessories to more recently a dalliance with jewelry design.

Always on a creative quest, four years ago she found her ultimate medium and her love affair with paper began. Working with various paper types and nature as her muse, Helen cuts, folds, scores and layers paper to create intriguing and intricate views into a fairy-tale world of flora and fauna. She lives and works on the edge of Manchester with one foot in suburbia and the other in the Cheshire countryside.

Q&A

What motivates you? The urge to create. The beauty and complexity of nature and the British countryside. Any wise words of advice? Don't panic.
Get a pet (a dog is good) for de-stress purposes.
Believe in yourself, your skills and ideas.
Work hard.
Get a website and or a blog. Good topics for party talk? Your five all-time best songs (if the party is long, you could go to 10).
Where I got my shoes/clothes/bag from.
The complexities of life, love and the universe (towards the end of the party).
Back to the favourite songs in case you've changed your mind. Favorite things to do when not creating? Gardening - this year I'm growing lots of flowers and potatoes in pots.
Visiting galleries and museums.
Having a long, hot bath with new magazines to read and a glass of French rosé on the side.
Dog-walking in the countryside. What would the ultimate job be? Illustrating a children's book with an animation tie-in.
