Helen has a studio across the hall from me at the Dobbin Mews in Greenpoint. A textile designer, I often wander into her space to witness her splashing paint onto canvases, creating amazing florals and animal prints out of thin air. Or, she'll come over and ask Jennifer and I which color combo is best - the infinite possibilities boggles the mind. My favorite thing about Helen though, is how she pronounces "taco" with her British accent - "tacko."
