Helena Geiger

Helena Geiger was born in Sydney. Her mother is Aboriginal. Her Aboriginal heritage is traced back to the Gumbayngirr language group from the North Coast of NSW where most of her family still live.

Helena is a self-taught artist specialising in Batik. Using this ancient art form she creates original Batiks on Silk and Cotton for wall hangings, stretched and framed artwork. She also designs printed and hand dyed textiles for furnishings and clothing.

Helena has exhibited her artwork widely in Sydney and Adelaide and is in private collections throughout Australia, NZ, the UK and USA. Her artwork was purchased by the SA Flinders University Art Museum for their Art Collection. In 2012 she was shortlisted for the NSW Parliament Aboriginal Art Prize and her work toured NSW being exhibited in several regional art galleries.
