About Me

Name: HElen

Location: Unionville, New York, United States

Hi, My name is Helen Grossman. I like to paint, read books, and learning a new form of art and techniques. I discovered world of soft sculpturing (doll making) back in 2001 and since then I am living here. I love to learn and experiment with different medias like clay, paper, beads, gourds, different paint and surfaces and it is always something new here to learn. When I am feeling burn out I am reading books or art magazines or taking my brushes and paint. Back in Ukraine I learned a decorative folk art style of painting called Petrikivka named after village it was born. You can see some of my work including painting at my picturetrail site: www.picturetrail.com/elenahg Thank you for stopping by and if you have a moment, please leave your comments. Thanks again, Helen

A little Mermaid

This doll made out of cotton and then was painted with may layers of different paint, starting green, then blue, then white and purple, then some metallic, I think I tiried almost all grenn-blue-purple colors I had :) I designed this doll, nor much of a design, but still :) Oh, and then I covered her with microbeads, not quite happy with the tail beads, I still thinking if I should put those beads on tail in a first place.Anyway, she is here and all suggestion for improvement are very welcome.

Hugs, Helen
