Artists Among Us 2017
Theresa Heinz series of work, "Intentional" will be on display at the studio beginning June 1, 2017.
Artist Statement Provided by The Fountain Arts Center
"As a native of Western New York, Theresa is continually and intrinsically influenced by her rural surroundings. The colors and contours of typography around us figure heavily in her landscape paintings. Her work is a direct reflection of an response to her "sense of place."
Theresa's vision and mind are saturated with local color. She feels compelled to record this using only transparent primaries and various media, including: watercolor, interactive acrylic, and oil.
Theresa attempts to draw or paint daily, believing that as an artist, the process should be a significant part of each day. She also strives to ensure that all marks and brush strokes are "intentional," as five minutes of unintentional work can easily undo five hours of careful painting. Theresa believes that creating visual art is as much or more cerebral activity as it is a physical one, and that as artists, we must spend a great deal of time looking, and considering before any pencil or brush meets the paper or canvas."
