Helen Wagner

Helen Wagner is an Australian lawyer, teacher and artist born in Melbourne in 1959. As a  lawyer, she fought for compensation for workers with silicosis in Hong Kong.

In 1993, she went to live in India and worked in the community as a street artist. Most of her work can be found on the exteriors of buildings, railway stations, and boundary walls. Two projects were undertaken with the Rouble Nagi Art Foundation, collaborating with local artists and neighbourhood children to bring colour to their lives and their walls.

Due to a massive flood in 2018 which affected her home, she returned to shelter in Australia.  She is now studying a Diploma of Visual Arts at the Canberra Institute of Technology.
