The underlying ethic to start that guides Helen Gifford and the business of HelenBilt is remembering what matters most--each other. Art doesn't live in a vacuum, but for a myriad of purposes: to enliven, enrich, entertain. We live in an age where being "involved" is very much in vogue; seeing the big picture though has always been Ms. Gifford's operating principle. With the larger community in mind, and realizing how her art can touch many lives, Ms. Gifford has found the time to donate to a number of both worthy causes and worthwhile events.
