Heidi Lewis Coleman’s artwork explores the intricate relationship between nature and artistic expression. Nature, for her, serves as both muse and mentor. Coleman is inspired to create works that reflect the essence of its beauty and the profound connection we share with all aspects of the natural world. The artist creates her mixed media pieces using thin washes of acrylic paint, pastels and tissue, building up layer after layer of artwork that embodies an atmospheric, ephemeral quality. The viewer experiences a portal into something magical and other-worldly. Each piece has it’s own narrative, suggesting a story of something that is vaguely nearby or just out of reach. Her prints merge contemporary still life images with her uniquely abstracted backrounds. The results are fresh and engaging – taking the still life or the landscape to a whole new level.
