Helen Skelton (British 1933 – 2023): Two carved wooden abstract sculptures, one modelled as a cat, painted in bright colours, the other modelled as a man, with applied features and nail hair, largest H53cm. Born into an RAF family in 1933 in Kent and travelled the world extensively during her childhood. After settling in Bridlington, Helen immersed herself in painting, textiles, and wood sculpture, often inspired by nature's beauty. Her talent was showcased in a one-woman show at Sewerby Hall and recognised with the sculpture prize at Ferens Art Gallery in 2000. Sadly, Helen’s daughter passed away from cancer in 2005. This loss inspired Helen to donate her sculptures to Marie Curie upon her passing in 2023.
