Helen Lewis ( 1916 - 2009 ) - Choreographer



Portrait of Helen Lewis, Bronze, Choreographer and Auschwitz survivor, 1996.

"And he had seen my name on a Red Cross list of survivors, and he wrote just to ask whether I needed anything... or would I let him know how I was. So we started writing, and it became a regular correspondence, and eventually in June 1947 Harry came to Prague and we got married. And this is how I came to live in Belfast."

Forest Walk Series

The compositions which constitute the Forest Walk series emerged in part alongside the Bullersten ones and are closely related to them. The 'walk' refers to the artist's rambles in Navar Forest, not far from his home. Several of these pictures emanated from gouache studies of a quarry face made in the forest.

Lough Conn, Co. Mayo




These drawings are taken from a portfolio of work I did when staying at Enniscoe House in Co. Mayo, August 2006. I sat on the shoreline of Lough Conn, several hundred metres from the house, and drew with water-based wax crayons on paper. I was struck by the sound of the landscape, coupled with the shifting light.
