Around 1906, Helen and Frank Dumond settled in Old Lyme, Connecticut, where he directed the Summer School of Painting and continued teaching in New York. Helen began producing her brightly colored plein air landscapes, and joined the National Arts Cub, the Art Workers Club and the Catherine Wolfe Art Club. She exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and at the Corcoran Gallery. In the 1920s and 1930s, Frank Dumond also taught summer classes in Cape Breton, where Helen found inspiration in the pristine, rolling hills of Nova Scotia.
