“I may not be in front of a canvas every day, but I think about my paintings every day,” says Helen Kuykendall. “Often an image will surface in my mind that relates to a personal memory. I find myself trying to express these memories as objects juxtaposed with a natural setting. Like solving a puzzle, I try to piece together imagery into a complete landscape that expresses what words cannot.
“I use photoshop to combine images into a preliminary concept for a painting. I use these ‘photo collages’ to help guide my painting. Although many times the painting evolves from the original idea and I like to incorporate happy accidents.”
