Commentary
“In Northern Light, Helen Glassford finds abstract beauty in a landscape of light over water. ”
“As a painter, Helen Glassford brings a softness to her work, which nudges its way into the visual memory of the beholder. Her abstract landscapes reveal a deft touch and are in possession of a lilting approach to colour and tone. Everything in its place and a place for everything.”
