Budgie Makeover, 2009

Budgie Makeover, 2009

details about this work


Helen Dryden is based in Leeds, Yorkshire


I paint and draw, on canvas and on paper, and I also use photography.

My work is spontaneous; often inspired by daydreams and my imagination. The work is sometimes representational, sometimes abstract. I use appropriated imagery from magazines and books and my own photographs, and also imagery from instinctive and intuitive drawing.
