Helen would attend many of the art openings in the city, usually hiding behind a plant or a sculpture. She loved being part of the art scene even if it was only from the sidelines. One night at a big opening, while standing underneath an abstract sculpture, she was discovered by a wealthy patron who was ready to purchase the piece but only if she came with it. Helen now resides in a chateau off Lake Como, where five days a week for five hours a day, she is the art.
