Artist of the Month August 2008
Heather Horton paints to capture the human condition in her paintings. She strive to create a questioning narrative in her work through tight cropping, ample negative space and facets of rooms/spaces beyond what first meets the eye. "I enjoy painting natural people/objects in natural surroundings... environments that are special to them. I use minimal posing and pretense in my work. I seek to express the most information with the least amount of brushstrokes". She will be showing her work at the Toronto International Art Fair from October 2-6th with Loch Gallery in Toronto.
