Hello! My name is Helen and I am a 21 year old art history student living in Brighton and studying at Sussex University. I am in love with the Renaissance and painters such as Botticelli and Raphael, but more recently I have rediscovered my passion for the Impressionists, American Realists, Romanticist landscapes, Art Nouveau architecture, Expressionist portraiture and the Pre-Raphaelites. The list is long, but my favourite artists include Edward Hopper, Henri Rousseau, Sandro Botticelli, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Gustave Caillebotte, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Alphonse Mucha, Edgar Degas, Gustave Moreau, Diego Velazquez, Frida Kahlo, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Evelyn de Morgan, J. M. W. Turner, Henry Fuseli, John Singer Sargent, Paul Cezanne, Raphael, Johannes Vermeer, Edouard Manet, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Canaletto, Winslow Homer, Joan Miro, Andrew Wyeth, Paul Klee and Camille Pissarro.
I am not a huge fan of conceptual and modern art; any modern artists I like are generally classically or photographically inspired in some way.
