VERTUSCM is on a journey, exploring art as a way of being with the world.
My name is Helen, my learning journey has taken me to study philosophy, social work and psychology. I trained as a social worker, an equestiran and a psychologist. I continue to study the arts. I take classes with the Art Students League of NY, Rhode Island School of Design and Sothebys's Institute of Art. I explore disciplines such as a drawing, mixed media, photography, interior design, jewelry making, poetry and writing. Practicing life long learning encourages me to be more open, present and aware. Art practice, creates space where I gain greater insight towards a deeper conversation about our place in the world and placemaking.

VERTUSCM explores ways in which artists engage with their environment.

Avtandil is a Georgian artist who represents the essence and spirit of his native land. He is a muralist, a painter, and a photographer. One of his large scale works, Art Plane AN-24, Kyiv was exhibited extensively at the Kyiv International Airport in Ukraine. Avtandil’s monumental works include the Nadzaladevi metro station in Tbilisi; the weather station in the Kazbek Mountains; and the ski station at Gudauri resort.
As an avid mountaineer, Avtandil has explored the hidden treasures of his beloved Caucasus mountains since he was a child accompanying his father on treks through the vast majestic range. Over the years, the Kazbegi Mountain has become Avtandil's spiritual home and its environs a recurring theme in his art. As an artist he is equally as comfortable with an easel, as he is behind the camera or creating a mural. Avtandil's art reflects classical training, a deep understanding of Georgian cultural mythology, native artistic tradition and a holistic appreciation of the Caucasus landscape. Avtandil's work transports you into a storied and a lively aesthetic.
