Artist Bio
Beatriz Helton is a mixed media, fiber and textile bookmaking artist. Making books from vintage book pages, music sheets, old photographs, fabrics and other interesting discoveries is her passion. While stitching, drawing or painting on fabric and paper, making books or finding something to add to her work, she thrives on the process as she enters the creative zone leaving her inner critic in the back seat. Her bookmaking is always evolving, no two books are exactly alike. Each page is a different expression of shapes, colors, textures, and impressions from her life. She is always intrigued to find unexpected images presenting themselves in the finished piece and she enjoys when the viewer finds something personal in her work. Beatriz believes an individual’s view of art is as unique as their fingerprint. She loves to encourage her students to create with a sense of play, as she believes having fun while creating is the key to making authentic art. For Beatriz, helping her students overcome the inner critic is essential for them to find their true voice.
