ABOUT
My name is Helen Lo, and I am an illustrator who creates whimsical and surreal art, weaving strong narratives into my work. I am often inspired by stories and words, and I love creating artwork that explores intangible themes such as emotions.
​
I am also inspired by my roots in Hong Kong and my experiences in the UK, blending both cultures into my art. One of my favorite descriptions of my work, as someone once put it, is “a bundle of light.” I believe that maintaining a childlike imagination is vital to creativity.
