Artwork Description

This artwork was inspired by trips to several coral reefs off the coast of Australia. By applying the resin mixed with pigments and inks over the mirrored surface you get an almost 3D reflection of the many shades of blue within the artwork. The varying light that changes throughout the day gives a variety of effects within the piece.

Artist Bio

After being a dedicated Primary Teacher for over 25 years, Heather decided on a change in her career direction. She launched Studio 16 Art in October 2016 to pursue her creative aspiration by experimenting with the mediums of resin and acrylics. Her abstract creations offer a highly charged, concoction of colour and rippling movement. The intensity of her work is witnessed on an almost microscopic level of detail, offering a chance to get lost in the beauty of chaos.

In the past, Heather’s artwork typically involved exploring portraiture through sketching. Since shifting to a more fluid process, Heather has been able to be led primarily by her creative intuition. Despite the abstract nature of her work, there is always an underlying theme derived from her deep connection with the natural environment.
