Community Action Nepal CALENDARS
Thank you to everyone who bought a NEPAL 2024 CALENDAR. Along with sales of cards, I was able to send over £900 to Community Action Nepal, which is fantastic!
Many of the paintings of Nepal are available to buy either as print, card or the original painting; please contact me directly via email or using the CONTACT form
Alternatively you can buy them through my Etsy Shop Helen's Art Shed on Etsy
Sales of all the previous years' calendars have raised over £7,500 for CAN, (including this year's total) so thank you again for supporting this amazing cause.
Supporting the work of Community Action Nepal (CAN) has become even more important over the last few years.

Nepal: it creeps up on you unexpectedly like an addiction and seeps into your bones staying there forever and so becomes part of you. Which is why I have created this body of work depicting the Himalayas.
From 1981- 83 I worked in Nepal as a volunteer with my husband David. We spent considerable time in remote districts working on sanitation schemes.
I kept a written record of this time as well as photographs and sketches which I used as source material for many paintings of the Himalayas and the Buddhist architecture.
Having supported the charity, Community Action Nepal, I was invited to exhibit at their Mountain Arts Festival in Cumbria, this led to the opportunity to revisit Nepal in April 2017 and in 2019. I spent a lot of time sketching there and this has provided me with inspiration for all the calendars.
We are looking forward to visiting Nepal again as soon as we are able!
