| Inspired by the surroundings of her childhood and home state, Moody’s images have focused on her love of what she calls “forgotten Florida”… old architecture, unique gardens and remote beaches.
The techniques she utilizes have been shaped by studies which have taken her domestically across the United States and internationally to France and Italy. Instructors and mentors have included such notables as Morgan Samuel Price, Alice Williams, Jean Chambers, Connie Winters and most recently Leonard Wren.
Her artistic journey has enabled her to evolve her style into a unique presentation which is best described as… relaxed post impressionistic. She chooses to focus on landscapes and still life utilizing rich color and instilling a delicate infusion of light. Helen notes, “My fascination with color and light has a distinct impact on my work. My goal is to create visually inspiring subjects using light and its varied patterns.”
Helen is an award-winning artist and an avid supporter of numerous art organizations including, the St. Augustine Art Association, the Jacksonville Coalition for the Visual Arts and the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach. She has completed many commissioned works including one that is prominently featured at the Wachovia Bank corporate offices.
Helen currently resides in Ponte Vedra, Florida where she is a full-time artist.
