Helge Duemmel was born in what was then East Germany in 1947. The family fled to the West, to Hamburg, in 1958, where Helge finished his formal education as a technical draftsman. He then joined the German Navy, serving 12 years as a navigator.
His travels brought him to the United States, where he eventually married and settled. 
After the Navy, Helge continued his education at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, earning a BA in Studio Art. He then began a career first as a high school art teacher and later as a math teacher until retiring in 2010.
During his 30 years of teaching, Helge also committed time towards his own art work when family and life circumstances allowed. In the 1980s Helge was an accomplished screen printer. His mostly angular geometric silk screen prints were represented in galleries in Chicago, Boston, and Worcester.
In the 1990s Helge's interest shifted to watercolor. His seasonal motifs of New England were well received at several one man shows.
Helge took a hiatus from the arts for ten years, but he is now back working in acrylics.
His abstract flowing compositions suggesting flowers combine his love for color, and the precisely sweeping arcs reveal his many years as a Geometry teacher.
