Heather Brown Truman - Fine Artist
Creating art for a living started with a thrift store table, a handful of cheap acrylic paints, and a life changing illness. I needed something to help me translate my experiences as a human being, to take what was happening within my body and turn it into something productive and beautiful. I painted that table, and many more furniture items in the years that followed. I still enjoy painting furniture, but my creative energies needed more freedom than furniture/recycled items would allow. I moved to canvas as the primary form for my expressions after the first few solo shows of art & objects d’art; and so my mixed media work bloomed. From there, it was a small leap to oil painting and the challenge of mastering the different mediums that most interest me. That was years ago, many artworks have been created and over 575 sold worldwide since then; it’s now eleven years later and I am still curious, inspired and determined.
My artworks are inspired by the world around me, the worlds I discover in the written word and my love of the natural world. I create mixed media, functional sculptures, oil paintings and wall sculptures on canvas. My works tend to focus on imagination, the natural world, whimsy, humor and spirit centered issues...and yes, sometimes even politics/world issues too. I document life being lived, out loud and without fear; from the simple to the sublime.
When I am working in studio, I discover a place where mind, body, spirit connect. This connection allows my work to flow from a place of pure inspiration, curiosity, and discovery. I work for the joy of it, I work to create a world of my own, I work because I have to create, and it is what I am.
Welcome to my world.
