“My name is Eva, which means 'life,' according to a book of names my mother consulted. I was born in the back room of a shadowy house, and grew up amidst ancient furniture, books in Latin, and human mummies, but none of those things made me melancholy, because I came into the world with a breath of the jungle in my memory.”

― Isabel Allende, Eva Luna

Helen Villalobos

From the jungles of the Peruvian Amazon and Costa Rica,

to the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest,

my life and work is a constant exploration of aliveness, a quest for states of wonder.

Whether creative, ecological, or yogic,

all my work seeks to reconnect us to our true nature, celebrating the interconnected webs of life of which we are a part.
