Helen Popinchalk is a full-time artist and assistant teaching professor at Simmons University in Boston, MA where she is also the Director of the Trustman Art Gallery and curator of the University’s art collection. She teaches screen printing, printmaking and a variety of other studio courses including collage and mixed media and artist’s books.  Helen earned her B.A. in Studio Art and Arts Administration from Simmons University and her M.F.A. in Printmaking from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. Her work has been widely exhibited in Boston and beyond.  She is a founding member of Trifecta Editions, a print collective that produced affordable, innovative, limited edition screen prints and art objects.  In 2016, she fell down the rabbit hole of installation art when she collaborated on a black light poster show with two other Boston-area screen printers.  From there, squeegee in hand, she never looked back.  Most recently, she and fellow artist Andrew Bablo completed a full gallery restoration of a 1950s atomic-era soda fountain at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.  She lives in Andover, MA but her heart resides in the badlands of the American southwest.
