Collection: Helena Verhaaren

Born in Tilburg, Holland, Helena Verhaaren is a self-taught artist celebrated for her evocative landscapes and refined technique.

Working mainly in oil pastel and gouache, Helena creates richly layered paintings inspired by familiar New Zealand scenes—Te Mata Peak, rural backroads, and beach baches that hold a sense of nostalgia and belonging. Her work has a warmth and clarity that appeals to a wide range of collectors, making her one of our most popular and sought-after artists. Each piece offers a glimpse into a place and moment that feels both personal and universal.
