Helen Comerford Lambert

Helen Comerford was my teacher at the Steiner inspired Kilkenny School of Art and Design. I was so incredibly blessed to have found my way to her because she had that rare sort of deep-seated love for truth that is powerful enough to set people free from oppression in their hearts and in their hands and in their heads. Helen's kind of spirit never dies, it just changes from one form to another.

Most sincere condolences from my family to yours. I will never ever forget your kindnesses and inspirational ♡ rest in peace Helen

My heartfelt condolences to David and Medb... I was blessed to have Helen as an art teacher, she gave so much of her time, love and energy to all of us who were lucky to have her teach us about art, and life... She was a wonderful teacher, artist and human... She always encouraged us to be better versions of ourselves...

Deepest condolences to David, Medb and family. Helen taught me how to see and changed the course of my life.

So glad I got to spend some time with her at our last school reunion.....such a fantastic talent.....condolences to her family in this time of grief..

Deepest sympathies to Helen's family at this sad time. May your happy memories of Helen fill the void that is left by her passing

I was deeply saddened to hear of Helen’s death. We were in school together and had kept in touch since 1963. She was a wonderfully talented artist and always very generous with her knowledge and time when I visited her idyllic home and studio. My sincere condolences to her family. A huge talent gone. Rest in Peace.

I was so sorry to hear of Helen's passing, she was a beautiful and gifted person, my deepest condolences to David and all of her family.

So sorry to hear that Helen -our Cabra school mate-has died.
Our class met a few years.ago and visited Helen at her home.Of course I came home with a lovely painting of a salmon in the boot of my car.It has pride of place in my house. Love it!
She was great fun and am so sorry to hear she has died.

Deepest sympathy for Helen's family.
We were classmates at boarding school, and she was so lively and vibrant.
I last saw her about four or five years ago when she invited the class to Kilkenny and Kells and her studio for one of our get togethers. So enjoyable and invigorating.
She will be so greatly missed in all the worlds she touched.

David, Ned and all the family. My deepest condolences to all.

Mum - I still cannot believe you are gone. 😢 You taught me much of what I know about life. You also happened to be an amazing artist, but you were simply Mum to me. Rest easy and enjoy the next part of your journey! I love you and you will forever be in my heart. ❤️

I meet Helen only for a short moments, but they were very special. Helen explained some of her technology. And Alan and Doris Potter received a picture of which I did not now that it will be my present for my fare well of the congregation in Tuamgraney. And this picture has now a very special place in Germany/Stuttgart in my apartement where I can have a look on a daily basis, it gives me a lot of joy every day and many friends who have seen it they liked it very much as well. So this picture will be always connected with my special encounters with Helen. She will be unforgetable.

Aideen and David and family, I only heard of Helen’s passing today and am very sorry for your loss. I have many happy memories of weekends in Kells with you all. Helen was a one off and an inspiration to many.

So sad; she and Trevor Scott were the foundation stones and pillars of Dún Laoghaire Arts School, later to become DLADT. We've lost two of the greats Helen and Imogen.

To David and the Comerford and Lambert families we were so sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. When we met in Irene's house last summer we realised we attended the same secondary school St Dominic’s College and reminisced about our time spent there. She was a lovely lady, may she rest in peace.

To Medb, Donal, and Family,

We were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your beloved mother, Helen. Through her leadership in education within Kilkenny and her own artistic practice, Helen touched the lives of many KCAT artists, learners, our team, and the wider arts community. Her impact was indeed profound, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to guide us all.

With heartfelt condolences from all at KCAT, may fond memories bring you comfort, and may you find solace in the support of all those who care about you.

Sincere sympathy to all the family. From Lake Productions Kilkenny
