About The Author

Helen Baldwin

Helen Baldwin was born at Blayney NSW. From early childhood, pictures of Aboriginal people fascinated her. In the mid 1920’s, Helen and her family moved to Springwood NSW, in the Blue Mountains, where she met Norman Lindsay. He encouraged her to paint and sought her to attend the East Sydney Technical College where some of her teachers were Douglas Dundas, Fred Leist, and Roy Davies. Helen first visited the outback of NSW in 1948, then, year after year saw Helen visit all of the Northern Territory; parts of Queensland, Western Australia, and South Australia.
