Bio

Helen O’Connor is a Yukon-based interdisciplinary visual artist who makes paper by hand using oriental and local fibres to create sculpture, assemblages and installation. O’Connor’s works are inspired by her process and experience in nature.

Originally from Ontario, O'Connor studied visual art at the University of Western Ontario and at the Ontario College of Art. During her studies, O'Connor was introduced to techniques for oriental and western papermaking by professor, Helmut Becker. O'Connor began her journey of paper explorations in 2009.
