Oils

Artist Statement:

I live in Powder Springs, GA having moved to Georgia in 1999 from Stockton, California.

I started working on my art degree by attending the Academy of At College in San Francisco, California; although I moved to Georgia before completing my degree I have continued my studies by
taking workshops.

I usually paint in oil which is my preferred medium. The paintings that I do are usually portraits; because I find people fascinating and challenging.

Before I start painting I usually take a few moments to get to know the subject by studying them.
This allows me to get a feeling for the personality of the person and to tell their story.

Artist Statement:

I have painted since I was very young and always knew I wanted to be an artist. After college I moved to San Francisco, then back to Minnesota, and now I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I have been in many solo and group art shows along the way. Currently doing shows and art fairs in the Atlanta, GA area. I don't pursue brick and mortar galleries because I believe the future of art buying is online galleries and in person sales at art fairs. I do a few art fairs every summer to promote my art and find out what the public is feeling about art.

Watercolors and Oils
by Heidi Hunt

November 1, 2019
to December 31, 2019

Artist Statement:

I have always been fascinated with depicting the beauty of natural light falling on objects, the brilliance of nature’s creation, and the color harmonies and contrasts possible to perceive, distill and express on paper or canvas. I have a special love of portraying plants sitting in windows absorbing life and light. I also enjoy painting en plein aire, seeking out with fellow artists beautiful local spots for subjects, as well as returning to my New England roots from time to time to portray the beautiful rural area where I grew up.
