Helene Adamson is a time-traveler with a paintbrush.
Her historical portraits literally transcend the passage of time.
Adamson works from photographs – often old, very small, black and white images taken from books, family albums, or historical archives. Using only these challenging source materials Adamson manages to create stunning full-color portraits either in oils or acrylics, paintings that virtually bring her subjects to life on canvas.
Whether commissioned by an individual family, by a community organization, or by a town council, Adamson's exquisitely rendered portraits provide treasured, enduring one-of-a-kind tributes to individuals who deserve not to be forgotten.
