Heidi Burkhardt in her Studio
Heidi R. Burkhardt is an artist who is attracted to dramatic landforms from Mexico to Baffin Island, from the Sea-to-the-Sky Highway in British Columbia to the Tablelands in Gros Morne, Newfoundland. Explorations in Japan, Greece, Italy, Mexico, the American Southwest, Canada, Sante Fe and the Caribbean are in search of the endless patterns in nature. Tropical vegetation, the Tuckamore or Tundra provide inspiration for work that is not so much about a specific geographic place as it is about the orchestration of linear rhythms, colour harmony and dramatic emphasis.
