How fabulous to finally meet fellow printmaker Hel How fabulous to finally meet fellow printmaker Helen Timbury at Heide Market today. 

I have been a huge fan of Helen's work for years and have been itching to get a copy of her iconic wombat linocut (seen here on her 2026 Calendar I purchased today). 

Beautiful and inspiring work, and as a printmaker myself I appreciate completely how much work, patience and thought is involved in each of Helen's gorgeous prints.
