Dikki Van Helsland

Always fascinated by the beautiful natural world around her, Dikki Van Helsland focuses her abilities in elaborating on that beauty. She firmly believes that offering images of light, airy and wonderful objects releases her viewers from the daily problems of life, even if only temporarily. Her works offer aesthetic intimate, larger-than-life views of the creations of Nature. It's a happy partnership.

Van Helsland began developing her feeling and talent for art during her childhood, which centered around fine art, fine crafts and the performing arts. As a young adult, performing, costume design, and stage settings provided important opportunities to further her abilities.
