About the Item
"A Little Sunshine" is a 30" x 24" mixed media canvas by Helen Steele and comprises of a serene composition in the style of contemporary figurative abstraction. The piece is swathed in a palette of warm, golden yellows at the top, transitioning into rich, earthy browns and a whisper of soft green at the base. The colors used evoke the feel of a landscape distilled to its essence, with the emotion of the piece rooted in tranquility and natural simplicity. Steele's textured layers suggest the subtle interplay of light and shadow across a field at dusk, offering a sense of peace and groundedness.
Helen Steele was born in Germany and has an extensive educational background, including a Master's Degree in Art Education, Art History, and Psychology from the Ludwigs Maximilian University in Munich and further studies in Italy. She moved to Los Angeles in 1987, where she began exhibiting her work, and has since held exhibitions across various states in the U.S. Her work as an art instructor and her diverse educational experiences have likely contributed to the depth and complexity found in her artworks.

Helen Steele
Artist Statement: My compositions are never preconceived, yet my themes are recurrent: the use of the figure as the means of investigating various psychological states: harmony, serenity, anxiety, and isolation... The figure is my starting point, not my true subject. My subjects are human presence and absence. My approach is intuitive, suggesting rather than detailing. As I work and rework my canvas the image appears sometimes only to elude me then to reassert itself much later. I work in multiple layers with buried images and words. paint is wiped off and layers are peeled yielding the emerging image. Symbolic markings, personal imagery, shapes, and words appear, and questions arise. Intimacy is translated through the sensuality of line, the simplest and subtlest of my tools. The line can be bold and assertive or sublime and quite sensual.
