various mediums, moving from watercolor to and pastels, and to photography.
He enjoys using his personal point of view to interpret the light,
textures and designs found all around, from a simple still life

capture a poetic sensibility, even a spirituality found in the simplest
forms of nature.

Heather
Glynn
Heather Glynn teaches children's courses in drawing,
painting and clay at the Quincy Art Association and is also the
art teacher at Atlantic Middle School. Originally from Chicago,
she joined us shortly after moving here and became actively involved
in the Q.A.A.
Heather works in a variety of mediums. The medium she chooses is
usually dictated by the idea or inspiration for the piece. She paints
primarily in acrylic, and enjoys working large. Her unusual mixed
media sculptures are unique and often whimsical or amusing. She
also creates interesting photographs and computer generated art.
Although she began her art career by doing commissioned charcoal
portraits, Heather's artistic vision has veered a bit off the beaten
path to a more abstract, but more inspired style. She is inspired
by cubism and surrealism. She loves intense colors, abstract shapes,
combined textures and the strange or unusual. Since joining the
Q.A.A. in 2003-04,
Heather has exhibited her paintings, sculptures and photos in most
of the annual art shows. Her work has won several awards at the
Quincy Art Festivals in each of her chosen mediums. |
