Heather
Horton was born in Burlington, Ontario in 1974. After completing a degree
in English from McMaster University in Hamilton, she decided to pursue a
career in art.
In 2002, she completed the
illustration program at Sheridan College in Oakville. Since graduating
from Sheridan she has exhibited her work in juried, group and solo
shows. Heather’s work can be found in private collections in Canada, The
United States, Germany and Great Britain.
Heather was elected into the
Society of Canadian Artists in 2002 and the Federation of Canadian
Artists in 2003.
“My work is primarily figurative.
I strive to create a visual tension in my work through cropping, stark
environments and overall composition."
“There is a prevailing sense of
isolation and alienation in my paintings. I want the viewer to wonder
what is beyond the borders of the canvas. I like to paint natural
people/objects in natural surroundings…environments that are special to
them, with minimal posing and no pretence.”
