Helen Tabor

Helen Tabor worked and travelled extensively in India and the Far East before coming to live with her family in the Scottish Borders. Inspired by the Borders countryside, she works in oil, a medium which allows her to use paint expressively, so that her subjects are to some extent secondary to the movement of the paint and the use of colour. While this gives an energy to her paintings, they also have an atmosphere of calmness and simplicity, evoking the gentle ebb and flow of tides and seasons.
