Helen was born and grew up in Eastbourne, a town in Sussex, England. She started her art journey by studying in St Ives, Cornwall. This was between 1906 and 1908, and her teacher was Algernon Talmage.

She continued her art studies in 1909 in Reading, Berkshire, with H Dawson Barkas. Throughout her career, Helen mostly painted landscapes, which are pictures of natural scenery. She used different art materials like oil paints, pastels (which are like soft crayons), and watercolors.

Helen's paintings were shown in important art exhibitions. She displayed her work with groups like the Royal Society of British Artists and the Society of Women Artists. In 1933, she became a member of the British Watercolour Society. This is a special group for artists who use watercolors.
