A graduate of Florida International University, Helen Betonte also studied Architectural Drafting and Design at Balin Institute and Fine Art at Palomar College. There she served as Art Director for Bravura Magazine, and has won numerous Best of Show and Honorable Mention awards. Her work has been widely exhibited throughout Southern California, where she is now firmly entrenched after moving between the coasts for years. Helen paints her environment with an obsessive need to understand the difference between these coasts. When I am composing a landscape, I see the bones of the trees and rocks, the muscles of the soil and water, the flesh of the flowers and grass.
Painting is a mystical experience-a prayer to the goddess of inspiration and creation.
