Featured Artist
Heather Murray is a Chatsworth Ontario, Canada mixed media artist who is inspired and driven to create.
A simpler world is her vision. A world where good hearts rule.
She cuts, pastes, paints and assembles what moves her and captures her attention. Her art becomes in fact an interesting hybrid of collage and painting... with a twist of whimsy and realism. After many years as a classical painter and illustrator, Heather has found a style which works for her and helps expand upon her imagination and fondness for preserving the past..
Collage and assemblage bring out the inner scavenger in her, and she savors discarded finds and utilizes found objects in new, enticing ways. Her roots stem from an editorial illustration background, and long ago she attended the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, Ontario. History, loss, hope, spirituality and humour are re occurring themes in her art. She continues to experiment and to play. Currently she works out of her haunted historical 1860's Courthouse studio in Owen Sound Ontario, Canada and is also inspired by her rural backdrop where the deer, crow and wild turkeys frolic.
