Audrey Heard Art Prints

In 1991, after a successful career in interior design and merchandising, she discovered that painting provided a meaningful outlet for self expression. She fully immersed herself in her new avocation, enrolling in college art classes and participating in numerous workshops throughout the United States. Audrey’s kitchen became a studio, her living room a gallery and storeroom. Now working from a studio, Audrey works mostly in oils on wood and canvas. Her large, contemporary paintings are highly decorative, the images recognizable but not representational. There is a richness to her color and a sculptural quality to her hand, giving her work a strong sense of depth. Audrey likes the challenge of working on a new series of paintings. “Working on two to six or more paintings of the same general subject, size and theme at one time is exciting. Each painting is a stimulus to the others.” She does not like to re-work paintings, preferring instead to take a new approach to the whole piece when it is not working. A native of New York, Audrey now lives in Connecticut just three minutes from her studio and close by to her three great-grandkids. She has an incredible zest for life and an endless supply of energy and enthusiasm for her newfound passion of painting.
