Joanne Helman’s still life paintings are compositionally restrained, emphasizing light, shadow, and form through meticulous oil technique and layered brushwork. Trained in London, England, she pursued a career in art buying before turning fully to painting later in life. Her enlarged subjects, often isolated or grouped in quiet clusters, blend contemporary precision with classical sensibility. Helman’s work is held in private and corporate collections and is represented by Koyman Galleries in Ottawa.
