About Helen Webber

With the mantra “art belongs everywhere from cruise ships to churches”, Helen Webber began her career in the 1970’s after obtaining a Masters Degree from the Rhode Island School of Design.

She has created hundreds of art works for public spaces throughout the United states and abroad and it is her strongly held belief that art can touch the spirit of many more people than those whose art experiences are limited to the halls and walls of museums and galleries.

Her bold and richly hued art works executed in a wide variety of media, such as tapestry, glass, metal wood and clay have been installed in universities, corporations, medical facilities, cruise ships, hotels, religious spaces, community and civic  centers and even in a train station. 

It is the tapestries that that she is best known for, and it is this medium that dominates the largest body of her work, which was first introduced to the design world in the mid 1970's.

The tapestries utilise a collage technique combining an array of designer upholstery fabrics such as velvets, brocades, worsteds, jacquards, mohair, hand woven woolens, among many others. Yarns of all kinds are integrated into the tapestries surrounding the edges of each fabric piece. This particular technique, which is unique to Helen Webber, allows for dramatic large scale works which have ranged from 6 feet to 65 feet.

For her limited edition tapestries, Helen has created over 200 designs, with themes that range from expressions of nature to the celebration of the spirit of children.
