In a Curator’s Words . . .

Contemporary artist Heather Stivison transports us to transcendent realms in her “Water Series” where the inherent nuances of nature’s aqueous properties arouse a palpable visceral force. We are lulled into a euphoric reverie that awakens and restores our mind and soul.

Stivison ventures beyond nature’s physical boundaries into abstraction with the profusion of free-flowing biomorphic patterns and tonal ranges. In her paintings the innate attributes of water evolve into metaphors, symbolism and visual poetry. She emphasizes the varied atmospheric influences of elements and their rhythmic interactions. The warm luminosity of the sun and the gentle whispers of the wind create radiant ripples that coalesce in contrast and harmony.

In Stivison’s paintings the entity of familiarity is fused with an altered sense of reality and holistic spiritual

perspective where dimension, space and time exist without boundaries and barriers. We are propelled into a powerful awareness of unlimited possibilities and potential above and beyond sight.

In her “Water Series” Stivison’s versatility and expert approach to artistic concepts and mediums shine with innovation and expansive variation. The dynamic and confident power of creation pulsates from every brushstroke and composition.

In Feng Shui water signifies adaptability, abundance, and emotional depth. These healing modalities and more emanate from Stivison’s paintings and provide a haven of renewal, restoration, and personal growth.
