Helena Marais is a multi-faceted person that thrive on inspiration, creativity and diversity. Her love for Digital Design started in 2010 just after she published her first children’s book, Frikkie die Vlooi. She decided to paint digitally in order to produce her next books as an electronic book.

She find inspiration in anything!... people every day happenings, anything that catch her eye and hold the potential for a new painting. Her photography is another outlet for her need for inspiration at times. When she feel stuck and uninspired, she would take up her camera and go out in nature or for a walk to take pictures of anything that catch her eye even rocks, textures etc. Much of these pictures end up in her art as well, or are inspiration for it.

Her work has been accepted into the following exhibitions in the in the United States. Two of her photographs were also accepted into an exhibition in Paris, France, and exhibited in the Louvre. See website

She is also a Shaman, Druid, Energy Healer, Reiki master and teacher. Something that is very important to her as a person.

She believes that living should not be confined in borders. Anything is possible, and all things should be explored, as in exploration we find our true self. We should live true to our soul and purpose for our path, and not let anything stand in our way. What you believe shall come to pass.
