Helen Fay is an artist and printmaker whose drawings and etchings capture the beauty, dignity and character of animals.

Influenced by Japanese and Chinese prints and drawings and the 19th and 20th Century European artists who were influenced by them too Helen is currently focussing on how animals are intertwined with our domestic and family life.

"I want to capture moments such as a dog flopped on a chair after a long walk or watching the world whilst their owner stops for a coffee or a lazy old cat sunning itself, content in it's old age. More intimate and everyday than dramatic subjects. I hope to capture these small moments that surround us when we have animals in our life."
