Welcome to the official website of visual artist Helen Karanika

ABSTRACT: Mixed Media Workshop

On Saturday, October 21st, 2023, I will be giving a mixed media workshop at the Cline House Studio in Cornwall, Ontario. I look forward to welcoming you to the marvellous world of Japanese paper! Discover how these delicate handmade papers respond to various types of water-based paint such as ink, watercolour, gouache and acrylic. Step-by-step demos will explore different types of paper, mark making and applying colour using brushes, sticks, string etc. Create many individual pieces which, when dry, will be cut up and re-assembled to make smaller collage works. All materials and a 10″ x 10″ frame for your favourite finished piece are included. All levels of experience are welcome, just bring along your sense of play and adventure! For more information, please visit Cline House Gallery & Studio, and to register, visit the City of Cornwall website.

Cycladic Arts Residency

In April 2024, I will participate in the Cycladic Arts Residency program on the island of Paros! For 30 days I will share an artistic environment with 2 other artists hoping to create work that will reflect the inspirational landscape around me. For more information on this program and the studio space I will be working in, please visit the Cycladic Arts webpage!
