Helen Barker
Essex, United Kingdom
Vegan since 1996, and a creative for her whole life, Helen began using art to enhance her animal rights activism in 2016. Through illustration, painting, sculpture and writing, she aims to change people’s understanding of their societally indoctrinated, speciesist views towards our relationship with other animals. Art is many things to Helen. Fun, relaxing, absorbing and distracting. It is also an incredibly powerful tool, involving the viewer in a deep, introspective way, and as such can have more impact than some other forms of social justice activism. Creating art to illustrate her greatest passion, the liberation of all others from oppression, pushes Helen to constantly improve, and brings her great fulfilment.
