WELCOME

Helen Leighton-Rose was once a biologist, always an artist and now an historian.  

She lives on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, viewing the windswept Cheviots Hills everyday.

Helen is a PhD candidate in History at the University of Northumbria exploring Scottish women’s agency and subversion in the long eighteenth-century.

Once a wedding photographer, she now prefers photographing landscapes.

She has taught and exhibited internationally; as a C&G Embroidery tutor, an invited artist to the Fashion & Embroidery show at the NEC; at Wallington National Trust House; Paxton House, Hawick Museum and The Border Textile Towerhouse to name a few. Published in a variety of magazines and books she now concentrates on exhibition work and art sales.

Recently returned to her love of painting she views this as an exciting new chapter in her life.
