Hilton Head Art League in Hilton Head, SC, Features Works by Heidi Fearon
Artist Heidi Fearon is sharing her sojourn
through life in the form of her watercolor paintings which will
be on display at the Hilton Head Art League Gallery in Pineland
Station on Hilton Head Island, SC, from Sept. 2 - 27, 2003.
Fearon was born to artistic parents in Salzburg, Austria,
where she completed her education in fashion design. After living
in Paris, then Cambridge, England, she came to the states where
she met and married a Canadian who brought her to live in Montreal.
It is there that she worked for 20 years as a fashion designer.
In 1987 she remarried and moved to Syracuse,
NY, where she began painting and exhibiting in oils. When she
and her husband decided to travel on their sailboat for almost
six years, visiting many parts of the world, Fearon discovered
that painting in oils on a boat was impractical. She then switched
to painting in watercolor and continues to work in that medium
today. "There are so many talented artists in Hilton Head
from whom
to learn," says Fearon. "I really enjoy attending workshops
and am starting to find my own style."
In her own inimitable style she portrays places she's visited, ranging from chateaux in France to scenes of sailing the rugged coast of Maine. Vibrant floral still-lifes bring variety and balance to her body of work.
