Winner of a 2012 Individual Artist Award in Photography from the Maryland State Arts Council.
"This extraordinarily well crafted pastel airscape soars atmospherically to the edge of space. It sings of a Presence easily missed by those only considering the beauty of the image. It is a deceptively familiar, near perfect visionary mirror that expands far beyond the artist's technical statement."
(Al Zaruba on Examiner.com,
August 10, 2011)
Helen Glazer's latest works are from a series based on photographs of clouds, which includes hand-colored archival pigment prints (below) and a painted relief (right).

"My artwork is generally characterized by imagery inspired by the natural world, vibrant color, and meticulous attention to surface and detail of form. The insights of chaos and complexity theories and how they can be seen operating in the natural world have influenced my work for the past few years." A Plane Passes By, (above right) is in Digital 2011: The Alchemy of Change at the New York Hall of Science, Queens, NY. Read more about Digital 2011 on ASCI's site and on the ARTES magazine site. This print was also mentioned in a review of Photo 11 this summer in the Washington Post. Solo Show at the Nailya Alexander Gallery, New York, opening June 14.

Works in Progress:
A photograph of greater kudus courting, taken in Kenya in 2007, is included in the 2nd edition of Principles of Animal Communication. Read more.
Along with continuing the cloud series, in September 2010 I traveled to East Greenland and photographed the rock formations and icebergs sculpted by wind, water, and geologic activity. Unlike clouds, you can view an iceberg from different angles, so I'm looking forward to also working with this new imagery.
International Sculpture Center Conference, London 2010:
I was fortunate enough to attend the ISC Conference in London (and unfortunate enough to be among the travelers who had to wait an extra week to get home because of the Iceland volcano -- but that's another story). But at the instigation of the Washington Sculptors Group, I've written up an account of the conference, whose theme was, "What is sculpture in the 21st century?" Read it here.
