Born in Dallas near Salem, OR on July 3, 1857. In 1866, Heath moved with his family to Santa Cruz, California where he remained. His father, Lucien Heath, was president of the County Bank of Santa Cruz and was twice elected to the California State Legislature.
The younger Heath showed artistic talent at an early age and studied art at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute in San Francisco at the San Francisco School of Design under Raymond Yelland, whose influence was apparent in Heath's realistically depicted works. He taught at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute Following graduation from that school, he opened a studio in San Francisco where he painted and exhibited for 11 years before returning to Santa Cruz in 1885.
From his studio on Beach Hill overlooking the bay, he painted many marines and landscape scenes. He took his many students on painting excursions. This group of artists was known as the Jolly Daubers and was the forerunner of the Santa Cruz Art League, which Heath established with Margaret Rogers in 1919 and served as its first president.
Heath was active in Santa Cruz until his death there on April 21, 1921. Realistically depicted, his works show the influence of Yelland.

- Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)By Jane ChapinLocated in Cody, WYThis is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...Category
