HELENE WILDER

" After my recent move to Santa Fe, New Mexico I cannot help but notice all the expressions of piety and religious devotion. The fact that many of these beliefs seem to

have no logical explanation has greatly influenced my art. These unanswered questions have found home in my recent paintings and drawings. I am fascinated by religious 

symbolism and the Madonna. Like past portraits I hope to portray inner strength as well as sorrow, feminine beauty verses man created religion.

My work embodies  a rare and fairly solitary spectrum of exceptions. They are imaginary portraits that assay an imagery or confused by my choice of metaphor.

Thy are my private collection of people. I hope you enjoy.
