Moments In Time
Gravitating to the idea of capturing a moment in time, Heather Millar's work is reflective of vintage ambiance steeped in nostalgia, ranging from childhood toys, vintage family snapshots and portraiture, landscape and wildlife caught in a still moment.
"I love the idea of having something tangible to represent that moment caught in time."
So often our memories obscure what was our reality at the time, so bringing back those images in the form of a painting on canvas lets the viewer treasure what was possibly once lost.
Heather is a professional painter living and working in Prince Edward Island, Canada, since 2008. Formerly from Edmonton, Alberta, she completed her BFA at Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary in 1998. A painter since childhood, Heather discovered the seductive elements of glass blowing while at ACAD and embraced that as her major for her years there.
Upon graduation, the reality of renting or building her own glass studio was out of reach, so she once again picked up her brushes and discovered an entire, untapped world of inspiration within her surroundings. Almost entirely self-taught in painting, Heather’s work has evolved into her own unique blend of impressionist melded with realism with the overall impression of contemporary pop-art whereupon the image depicted is the sole focus of the painting.
Heather is currently represented at Canvas Gallery in Toronto, Ontario, Adele Campbell Fine Art Gallery in Whistler, British Columbia and HAZE Gallery in Berlin, Germany. Her work can be found in private collections worldwide, in public collections nationwide, and on the set of "Suits" and HGTV.
