Helen Flockhart studied painting at Glasgow School of Art from 1980-85 and continues to live and work in Glasgow. She has held 21 solo exhibitions and has exhibited widely in the UK, Europe, New York and Canada. In 2020 she was elected RSA and was recently awarded the RSA Blackadder Houston Mid Career Painting Award.

Often plundering the world of myth, Helen's paintings weave the conscious and unconscious, making manifest a fecund world which has a life and logic of its own.

Bill Hare, Writer and Honorary Fellow in History of Art at the University of Edinburgh, said of her work:

"Helen Flockhart has drawn her creative inspiration from a range of esoteric and mythical sources...Myth is an ideal stimulus for the febrile imagination of the artist, allowing her to delve into a world of profound mystery and intense yearning, where beauty is forever stalked by corruption."
