Helen Mudie-Ioannidou is a Scottish born artist and instructor, who has lived in both Greece and in Turkey where she taught art and music. Helen's love of the human form, the body and it's language inspires her figurative work. When she sculpts from life, she does not strive to produce an exact likeness, but hopes to capture the essence of the sitter.

She works mainly in stoneware clay, utilizing custom glazes, patinas, stains and wax to get the finish she wants. Selected sculptures are cast in limited editions in bronze.

Her work has been shown in group exhibitions in Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and Scotland. In 2004, she had her first solo sculpture show, at the Egina Aegina Gallery in Greece, followed in 2007, 2009, and 2014 in other galleries throughout Greece. In 2007 she received a Highly Commended Award for her exhibit ‘Sisters’ at the Moray Arts Club in her native Scotland. Her work is in the collection at the Greek Embassy in Ankara and in private collections worldwide. Helen has been a member of the Greek Chamber of Fine Arts since 2009.
