Mary-Helen Horne
Working in Tampa FL, Mary-Helen took up her artistic journey after retiring from a career in business operations. She shaped her art practice through a program of study with outstanding artists and printmakers across the U.S. geared toward cultivating creative inquiry and developing artistic excellence.
Her work celebrates the rich yet fragile diversity of our natural environment. Guided by the printmaking process, she creates textured, light‑infused compositions shaped by an improvisational approach that blends relief, intaglio, and monotype techniques. Rooted in a deep commitment to conservation, Mary-Helen looks to trees as symbols of our enduring connection to the Earth—embodiments of community, resilience, and quiet generosity. Her monoprints offer impressions of future memories, honoring trees not yet lost to deforestation, commodification, or climate change. They stand as tributes to their strength, persistence, and steadfast beauty.
