Helen Farson

North Carolina artist Helen Farson expresses her vision of the world through impressionist oil paintings, full of rich color and individual style. Her work is inspired by experiences at home, including her lovely Gloriosa Garden and her grandchildren, and by travels to Italy and France. Images of gardens, interiors, architecture, still life and landscapes are captured with Old World charm, clear colors and lyrical brushwork.

Helen received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Queens University and has studied painting with nationally recognized artists Connie Winters, Barbara Flowers, Jim Crompton and Alice Williams. She is a member of Oil Painters of America and Women Painters of the Southeast. Her work is in many private collections.  Today she paints in her studio at Gloriosa Garden in Greensboro, NC. The studio is filled with light; the gardens, like her paintings, are filled with layers of color and texture…and there is always something new to be discovered on the canvas or in the garden.

“Being an artist means finding the beauty in life. Painting allows me to share my discoveries, telling the story with joy and passion. I feel honored to be an artist.”
