Helen HOYLE
Born in South Africa, Helen Hoyle came to the UK in her mid-twenties and settled in Cornwall in 1993. In 2010 she graduated from Plymouth University with a BA (Hons) in Art History. Two years later a printmaking course with Rachael KANTARIS at Newlyn School of Art sparked a fascination for monoprinting.
In 2016 Helen became a member of Taking Space. She has been a regular exhibitor at STISA open shows.
She has written extensively about women artists in Cornwall (see link below). From 2011 to 2025 Helen was part of the CAI editorial team, initially as women's editor, then taking over the general editorship after Melissa Hardie's retirement.
