Helena earned a BA from UCLA in 2004, a BFA in 2008 from the San Francisco Art Institute, and an MFA in 2012 from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Helena’s body of work is largely based in self-portraiture, and explores her identity and her relationship to the canonized art world. In other pieces she documents small moments of her life that define her personality and experiences.
Listen as Helena provides some context on these pieces and how they document her journey as an artist.
