Dear friends,

Thanks for stopping by!

As of 2020, I no longer sell my art online through Gumroad. (Frankly, I was too lazy to package and ship my art around the world, though I was extremely grateful for all of your interest!!) I now live in Calgary, Alberta in Canada and sell my art through various cafes and humanitarian events, where 100% of the purchase goes towards a charitable donation.

In 2025, I auctioned my art at the “Dessert Gala” event hosted by Helping Families, a non-profit organization who helps families with children battling cancer.  In 2025, I sold my art for non-profit at 17th Ave Thrift Store, where 100% of the profit went towards various animal shelters in Calgary. In my previous life as a PhD student in Switzerland, I held an art sale to friends and colleagues and together, we made a donation of 435 CAD to Against Malaria, the top-ranked charity by GiveWell.org.

If you are interested in a more personal and meaningful piece, I’m also open to commissions. For commissions, 20% of your purchase will go towards a cause of your choosing, 80% towards my art business. Note that because I have a full time job as a university professor, it may take me some time. If you’re okay with a longer timeline, I’m very happy to hear from you at helenaihe.art [at] gmail.com.

Take care and remember – always practice your creativity!

All my best,
Helen
