Lin Helfen Studio
Meet the Maker
Hi! My name is Caitlin, but you can also call me Lin.
Here at my store, you will find one-of-a-kind magnets and textured canvas paintings. My magnets are made by collaging images found in magazines onto kitchen tile. I search for fun cutouts and enjoy combining them into a unique design. My paintings are created with many layers of mixed media, paint, and usually some bright colors.
Putting a visual to the thoughts and feelings that I lack language for is a process that drives me. Incorporating everyday items such as plastic wrap and tissue paper into my paintings adds an element of surprise to my process and is a part of my painting technique. My love of drawing and painting led me to study at Maine College of Art & Design, where I earned my BFA in 2008. I find inspiration most often in nature, science, and the challenge of making the mundane into something more.
When I'm not creating art, I spend time hula hooping, there are no bounds to the new tricks and combinations to be learned. I can often be found hanging out with my muse and moral support cat, Merlin, my other cutie cat, Toes, and my husband, Alex. I also love going for long walks around the city of Providence and getting purposefully lost amongst the bricks and old New England houses.
Thank you for stopping by my store! I hope you enjoy exploring my creations.
How it’s Made
I begin by searching through my collection of recycled magazines, and the occasional book. After finding images that work together, I mod podge them onto kitchen tile to create an original design. Each magnet generally has five to eight cut out images, but the range can be anywhere from three to thirty.
