Dawn: What inspires you to do a piece ?

Helen: Usually it is a request, or something I have not done in the birds of the tropics which is my favorite.  Ilove the pretty colors of natures paint brush best,  No matter how I try, I cannot duplicate them perfectly, but we can always improve.  I Also love country things like barns, horses.  In our travels, I often take pictures of scenes that I think would look good in my lath art.

Dawn: What is your favorite Quote & saying;

Helen: Nature:  Look but don't touch, the quote, "Come, look, go.  Leave nothing but your footprint." 
           Saying:  Please smile at me, God is not finished with this work of art."   Both authors unknown.

Dawn: What is your favorite Piece of art work that you Like

Helen:  Remington's "End of the Trail" at Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina

Dawn: When Did you start out to be an artist, and Who Inspired you to Be one Of the Top artist in the world.

Helen:  I have always worked with atrsie things,  taught ceramics long ago, worked with wood carvings in one dimension and while doing that, (like ducks for the yard or coat hangers for the front hall, my husband said my work was good so I made a one dimensional carving with lath background and some folks saw it and bought things occaisionally.  My husband insisted I go futher and he bouhgt me a huge band saw for Christmas one year.  I was terribly intimidated by it, and finally a friend showed me how to use it and off I went.   It has evolved to 3 dimension carving and no one else in the world does if like mine.  Each is an original.

Dawn: You have traveled all over the World And you and your Hubby have a Traveling Video series, and I watched a little And what I Can say I felt Like I was right there, And you really are a tour guide
Tell us a little more about your Travel with Helen And Brian

Helen:  It is a simple concept. A drivers eye view We travel, you travel everyone likes to travel.  Many cannot due to many reasons.  Our friends (after many negative jokes about home movies) actually want to see more.  We simply comment on what we see much as you might driving around on vacation.  Brian is pretty witty and usually has some corny comment on what we are doing or seeing.  We want you to get ot know our families, pets, homes and enjoy all of the "Travel picture"  Getting ready, going to and from airports, and seeing all of it.  It makes one feel as they are there.  No scripts, no made up scenes or reinactments.  It truly makes one "get involved".  Quite different from any other series.  As our life goes on so do our travels.  Only way to get to be a good traveler is lots of practice.

Dawn: What are the cost of your Videos; 

Helen:   It goes by the hour.  $19.95 per hour.  With a two hour minimum.  You can go back in time and see some of our older vacations.  Of course as the years go by the new camaras got better and better so we have not included any trips before image stablized lenses.  (plus shipping and handling)

Dawn: What has been the most Exciting Travel Place you enjoyed, can you tell my readers.

Helen;  Well I really like planet earth best.  And to narrow it down closer, Rome and environs was very intreguing.  Our last trip to Australia was unbelievable.  11,000 kilometers from the outback to Sidney, from the cold and windy south to the steamy north it was really great.  We have about 16 hours of video from there. Don't miss a frame.
