Helena Skerlj-Rovers is an emerging multi-disciplinary artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland. Since graduating in 2021 with a BFA (hons) from Elam School of Fine Arts, Helena’s continued work has largely been driven by an exploration of colour and gesture. More recently expanding from her painting practice into textiles and soft materials, Helena has drawn her life-long love of craft and handwork into her work in the form of tufted rugs.
