My artwork is generally characterized by imagery inspired by the natural world, vibrant color, and meticulous attention to surface and detail of form. My latest works are a series called "Cloud Anatomy," which includes both archival injet prints of clouds and painted reliefs. I have completed two public art mural commissions (images below) Some of my earlier work in paintings, drawings and prints can also be found here. I welcome your inquiries at helen@helenglazer.com.

Works in Progress: My interest in the insights of chaos and complexity theories and how they can be seen operating in the natural world has influenced my work for a few years. Since February, I have been engaging with these concepts more directly in a new series (above left and left). These works are derived from photographs I took of clouds, then worked on in Photoshop to isolate and bring out the intricacies of the form. Working with Direct Dimensions, a firm that does digital 3D imaging, I translated these ephemeral forms into a tangible three-dimensional relief sculpture. The images you see here are also being printed as high-quality inkjet prints, incorporating color. See description and detail image of the sculpture and the cloud photograph series.
