Artist Statement:
Heaney’s current body of work is broken into a number of separate series, tackling two specific themes: self examination during paternal compensation, as well as, a micro level inquiry into the unawareness surrounding processed and packaged foods found in everyday grocery stores and the effects they are having on our local economy and communities across North America and even the world. Heaney threads the common theme of momento mori throughout her works, and ties everything together using hyper realistic drawing techniques that combine classical training with contemporary thought.
- Here’s a preview of Heaney’s latest pieces from her new series: “Laura with Facial Hair” (an extension of the Men with Facial Hair series).
