Creating Baba Yaga Hut - Helsinglight Folklore Hotel
We decided we want to share another creative vision and project of ours that we have been working on and planning for a while.

Watercolor artist Robin Tynan from UK visits Helsinglight AAiR - Alternative Artist in Residence
Next artist arriving to try out Helsinglight AAiR - Alternative Artist in Residence will be watercolor artist Robin Tynan from Leeds, UK. Robin says art and creativity has always been a part of her life but it was only in early 2018 that she began focussing on using watercolour and fountain pen. She found the ease and speed of how images could be created to be very freeing and well suited to the peculiarities of living with a chronic illness.
