Helen Tueffel’s artwork is inspired by many things: “People I know. Places that strike me. Things that I care about.  A high school art teacher was the first to motivate me to put more focus into art, to take it from a hobby to a rich thread that would wind throughout my life. My second mentor didn’t present himself until many years later, after I was well into a corporate career and a family. On Wednesday nights, we would paint in a small group – it was the first time I’d painted in oils other than childhood paint-by-number. I like new materials, skewed perspectives, and consider myself an art wanderer. Canvas and paint; automotive admixtures and photography; gels and acetate squares; they’ve all made their way into a work. My deepest connection, however, is with pastels and they will always be my grounding medium.  The most incredible aspect of a work of art is in the observation by the viewer and the connection that is made when the art is observed, and understood or felt.”
