She describes art as “so very liberating” and credits her time painting with mentor Karen Leffel-Massengill at The Nook for pushing her to grow more confident in her practice.Now a resident artist at Zero Empty Spaces in Jensen Beach, Helen embraces the freedom of having a dedicated studio outside of her home, where she can create, connect, and share her process with the public.

Zero Empty Spaces Podcast Episode #70 With Damon Lehrer Of Boston Figure Art Center (BFAC)
In this special episode of the Zero Empty Spaces podcast, we’re joined by Damon Lehrer, founder of the Boston Figurative Art Center (BFAC), for a deep dive into how and why he created one of the Northeast's most respected hubs for figure drawing and classical art training.Damon shares the story behind BFAC’s founding, his passion for preserving the tradition of observational drawing, and why these spaces are vital to nurturing community, discipline, and artistic growth in an increasingly digital age. We explore how BFAC has become more than just a place to practice drawing—it’s a gathering space, a learning environment, and a cultural anchor for the artists of Greater Boston.We also unveil the exciting new partnership between BFAC and Zero Empty Spaces to bring figure drawing and studio space together under one roof in the Natick Mall. Learn how this collaboration will create a hybrid model of working studios with built-in figure drawing classes—offering artists a unique, affordable space to create, study, and connect with fellow creatives in a thriving retail environment.If you're curious about the future of artistic community-building, placemaking through classical arts, and how partnerships like this can reshape underutilized commercial space, this episode is for you.For more information on BFAC and classes offered at our Natick Mall location log on to - https://www.bostonfac.com/ (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa01yelFISWwyZU94M1FvUFl1bi14eEZ3WUpUd3xBQ3Jtc0trdWFWQTFhRDUtZHNINkxWbjZGOVI2cTFhWms1WV9BVVBIaVM1dTBrTmxvRXRLeWJ4OEM0Q0ZYbkhmNnZMeEpzSjM2UEJXOW8wbVBIMTduVDQycUlTSmpjZkw5Ymd2Ukg2b2E4MGtLQWdWZnVCTnNnQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bostonfac.com%2F&v=fBZvnBgT53Q)At Zero Empty Spaces, we are dedicated to transforming vacant commercial real estate into working artist studios that serve as vibrant hubs for creativity and community engagement.

Zero Empty Spaces Podcast Episode #61 With Victor DiPilato
Tune in to our latest episode with Victor DiPilato from his studio in The Shops At Legacy Place located in Palm Beach Gardens (Palm Beach County, Florida)! Victor DiPilato is a professional artist who resides in South Florida (Jupiter). His painting style ranges from photorealism to abstraction. His unique abstract painting style is called fractured expressionism where the paintings take on a broken or shattered effect that is often incorporated into the theme of the painting. Artist Statement: Art is about experimentation, but not wild and untamed experimentation. It’s more of a scientific endeavor or a systematic process of discovery. Each painting is not only an experimental journey into the physical materials but it is also a study of how the finished product creates certain feelings within the observer. Often, my work has a textured look that is incorporated into the theme of the painting. The themes and meanings of the work explore the inner workings of the mind with a strong inspiration from my studies as a Psychology student.
