Winter in an aspen forest, blanketed in snow. The trees stand proud on elevated ground. "The amazing fact about an aspen grove is that the root system is all connected," says artist Heather Foster. "The trees that are off-shoots are genetically identical to the parent trees. It is intriguing to think about this connectivity that lies under the surface of what seems separate above ground."
About the Artist
Artist Heather Foster captures an enduring image of the West. She paints the dramatic landscapes and stalwart animals she encounters on her adventures to ranches and rodeos. Heather says she has always known she wanted to be an artist. As a child, she spent her weekends and summers riding the bus into Philadelphia to attend art classes at Philadelphia College of Art, Moore College of Art, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Over the years, she's moved around the country quite a bit and done many jobs - everything from driving a pedicab (a giant tricycle that transports passengers) to art restoration and conservation (for one project, she unstretched and then restretched a $17 million painting that would not fit through the door of the buyer's house). The one constant though, no matter where she lived or what side jobs she held, she always made space and time to paint. Today, she works from a home studio in Santa Fe, painting from thousands of reference photographs she shoots on her travels. Her artwork has been featured in the magazines Southwest Art, American Art Collector, and Western Art Collector, and published in the books Art Journey New Mexico and The Book of the Horse.

Reeds along the edge of a lake in the Gila National Forest. This painting is a slight abstraction of the lake, accentuating the pattern of lines created by the strong vertical reeds and the equally strong horizontals from the ripples on the water.
