Helen Fellows is a painter and printmaker in Washington, DC. and has spent almost every summer of her life in Maine. Granite, White Pine and salt water is in her DNA and in her art.
Fellows worked in nursing for over 40 years but she never stopped making art. Traveling west with her late husband, a talented photographer, Fellows spent many summers sketching and painting in the outdoors. Drawn to remote, northern landscapes, her work in recent years has been inspired by travels to Greenland, Newfoundland, the Faroe Islands – and, of course, Maine.
Fellows studied painting and printmaking at The Corcoran School of Art, Washington, DC, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Deer Isle, ME, Anderson Ranch, Snow Mass, CO, Pyramid Atlantic Print Gallery, Hyattsville, MD and The Torpedo Factory, Alexandria, VA. Her work has been shown in multiple group shows in Washington DC, Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta, and Wiscasset, ME, and solo in shows Washington, DC. During her nursing career, she designed a cover for Immunological Review, a major scientific journal. In 2025, she won Best in Show for ARTinMe, a Maine statewide large format competition.
