WELCOME
The Perky Painter is the passion and heart of artist Helen Gibson.
Helen’s bold, joyful artwork bursts with colour, texture and imagination, celebrating the magic of self-expression and the beauty of seeing the world differently.
Helen brings that same creative passion to art workshops that empower children and support their mental health. Rooted in her personal experience and deep belief in the power of art for emotional wellbeing, these workshops help children explore their feelings, build confidence, develop resilience, and feel seen, valued and inspired.
Working with schools, nurseries, clubs and community settings, Helen uses art as a powerful tool for connection, inclusion and wellbeing, empowering children through creative self-expression.
Happy Art,

WHAt OUR FANTASTIC CUSTOMER's SAY
The item was posted 1st class and arrived the next day! The packaging was top class, a real professional touch. Clearly obvious that the owner Helen has put in a lot of time and effort into her products. Plan to jot down my photography ideas/notes using this book. Definitely will buy another in the future :)
I bought these as a gift for a writer friend and she loves them! I like them so much I bought 9 more as gifts.

This charming bag was even more impressive in person! My wife is a schoolteacher and animal lover, so this bag was a great find. I can tell that the artist really cares to craft with care.
Thanks for being so kind to our children at the BCTF over last 2 days. You have filled them with enthusiasm for art.
