Helen Jennings OAM was a finalist in the Portia Geach Memorial Award in 2026. Helen was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2018 for her services to music, particularly through community radio. She joined PBS 106.7FM in 1984 and has been the presenter of her program Roots of Rhythm since 1987. Helen co-founded the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society, Blues Club Records and the Melbourne Blues Festival and was stage manager and MC at the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues for 27 years. In 2022 she was inducted into the Blues Music Victoria Hall of Fame.
Familiar with Helen through the Wangaratta Festival and her radio program, I have met her on several occasions, including in my hometown where her sister resides.
In this portrait, Helen is sitting in the PBS studio just after finishing her weekly program. The album cover I have placed in the background is an acknowledgment of our mutual admiration for the legendary musician Bob Dylan. The painting combines my characteristic hard edge style with a softer, more painterly treatment of the sitter’s face and hair.
