Heather Lancaster Art

American, b. 1971
Heather Lancaster (b. 1971) is an artist from and is based in Atlanta, GA. It is with a deep appreciation of form and an insistent curiosity that Heather Lancaster examines intricate, sensitive, and lyrical animal gestures created over time, by varied degrees of specialization within different physical environments. Finely tuned body mechanics and a range of extraordinary design adaptions are carefully considered and rendered with a delicate hand. Through Heather’s own evolving creative process, the figures begin with a single line and are slowly realized with subtle planar shifts and high contrast using layers of graphite, India ink, and charcoal. Venturing beyond strict representation of her subject matter, she explores the abstract nature of lines, shapes, patterns, and values in her large-scale works on paper. Heather’s marks and voice as a visual artist echo her admiration of the perfection attained by the marvel that is natural selection. Heather holds a BA in Art History and Historic Preservation from Mary Baldwin College, Staunton, Virginia (1993). She has had nine sold-out exhibitions with Spalding Nix Fine Art, while maintaining a robust commission-based studio practice. Her work has been featured in Vogue, Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, House Beautiful and Veranda. Her work is in both private and corporate collections across the United States including Brand Properties, Atlanta, GA, Ashbourne Farms, La Grange, KY, Bohemian Hotel, Savannah, GA, and The Brookwood, Atlanta, GA. Heather is wonderful to work with on commissions, creating work in various sizes, revisiting familiar birds/animals, or excited to work with new ones! Send us an email to learn more about her commission process!

Whispers & Hisses Series: 'In Dread'

By Winifred McNeill

Located in New York, NY

This series was inspired by a 1950’s era instruction manual found while clearing out my father’s basement workshop. The How To Light A Model manual employed voluptuous female models to teach lighting techniques to amateur photographers such as my father. Diagrams plot the prescribed direction of the lights. The nude women hold the pose, their lips bright red and their feet dirty from the studio floor. As naked props for the authoritarian photographer, their vulnerability seems palpable. This work visualizes the human condition as a balance between feral and fabricated worlds. Vivid, oversized creatures embody instinctual energy. Wax seals, gold spheres and text-like marks signify rational structures. One speaks in a whisper, the other in a hiss. Winifred McNeill...
