What is the Helen Allingham Society?
The Helen Allingham Society was started in 2000 by Tom & Katy Schaefer in an effort to celebrate the beautiful art and unique talent of Helen Allingham, and to share the joy of her works around the world. The Society is non-profit and informal, that is, we are not incorporated and do not collect dues or provide paid services for members. At this time the website is our principal means of creating a community of Helen Allingham admirers, but we plan to formalize and grow the Society in the future. This is truly a labor of love intended to educate visitors and spread that peaceful feeling one gets from viewing Helen’s lovely watercolours.
