About the Item

Heather Lancaster is a native of Atlanta, Georgia and hails from a family of artists. In fact, her mother is a painter, so she grew up immersed in the visual arts. Conversation at home circled around composition, color theory, perspective, and line quality. Rather than photographs, she and her siblings have her mother’s drawings and paintings as primary documentation of their childhood. It seems only natural that such an atmosphere fostered a profound appreciation for art, even as a child. With a deep appreciation of form and an insistent curiosity, Heather Lancaster explores intricate, sensitive, and lyrical animal forms and gestures. Finely tuned body mechanics, and a range of extraordinary design adaptions are carefully considered and rendered with a delicate hand. Through her own evolving creative process, the figures begin with a single line and are slowly realized with layers of graphite, India ink, and charcoal. Lancaster's marks and voice as a visual artist echo her admiration of the perfection attained by the marvel that is natural selection. Heather began her own study of art and visual expression as an adolescent and continued it throughout her college years and beyond. Her awareness of and love for the beauty in nature and wildlife is evident in her sensitive, finely rendered drawings of animals and botanical elements. Her choice of graphite gives each piece a quiet, timeless feel, which draws the viewer into the piece. The exquisite detailing encourages further consideration and reveals the purity of each carefully drawn subject. When Heather is not at the drawing board, she can be found running on in-town paths or through the woods, reading, exploring new art, and enjoying her busy family and nature.
