"Hele Ellis is the epitome of the committed and talented Artist; her paintings radiate both power and energy...her work is enthralling, her use of colour lyrical. Hele's work progresses to a sometimes unspecified yet dominating spiritualism: she goes beyond the surface matter, uses colour and form to bare her soul - sometimes unnerving, yet always distinctive, unflinching and completely natural. This fusion between acute observation, interpretation and the sheer power of execution makes her work so totally absorbing."

(Jim Newton, Artist International)
