Heather's Process

Painting is an expressive and cathartic process for her. She paint’s from memory, and starts with no preconceived notion about what the work will become.  She listens to her intuition and let the surfaces emerge.   Her thoughts are often of the changing light throughout the day, the movement of the clouds in the sky, the gradual change in the color and texture and structure of all things over time.  The Oregon landscapes, seascapes, and cloudscapes have been an immense inspiration.
