Thursday, February 7, 2008
Julie Heffernan (b. 1956) fills her oil paintings with sublime landscapes and lavish interiors that
surround the artist in “self portraits.” The figure is often elaborately draped with flora and fauna
until the physical boundaries of the body are woven into her dreamlike environments. Her work
has been shown extensively at museums here and abroad including the Neuberger Museum,
SUNY Purchase, NY; McNay Art Museum, San Antonio; Weatherspoon Art Museum, NC; the
Kwangju Biennale, Korea; and the National Museum in Gdansk, Poland. Represented by
P.P.O.W Gallery.
