Isle of Wight mosaic artist Helen Goodman heads to Quarr for Open Studios

Helen Goodman’s fascination for texture and a love of colour is what keeps her heading back to her studio to create beautiful pieces of art.

She says that her art is so much more than a way to make a living. 

Helen explains,

“Inspired by nature and my surroundings, I’m constantly setting myself goals to create the look I want; the challenge is finding that special piece of china to bring my work to life.”
