Artist Statement
Heather Brown-Truman
I have always created art. As a small child I learned to read early and my love of words was born. Reading spawned images and creations inside my mind; words have always been a reliable and dependable muse. All my artwork is a direct result of my encounters with powerful
words. I was lucky to be born in a time of technological explosion. Men were landing on the moon, and we were watching it happen on television at home. We didn't’t have cable T.V., video games, or cell phones. The world of imagination and books was an escape; a refuge for an ever changing and more complicated world.
Creating art for a living started with a thrift store table, a handful of cheap acrylic paints, and a life changing illness. I needed something to help me translate my experiences as a human being, to take what was happening and turn it into something productive and beautiful. I painted that table, and many more furniture items in the years that followed. I still enjoy
painting furniture, but my creative energies needed more freedom than furniture/recycled items would allow. I moved to canvas as the primary form for my expressions after the first few solo shows of art & objects d’art; and so my mixed media work bloomed. From there, it was a small leap to oil painting and the challenge of mastering the different mediums that
most interest me. That was years ago, hundreds (528) of artworks have been created and sold since then; it’s now ten years later and I am still curious, inspired and determined.
When I am finished with a work my strongest desire is to share it with the world. I love learning how other people interpret my works, and what people discover and resonate with in my work. I do not have answers to any of the problems of this life/reality; with my art, I uncover the important questions that need to be asked.
When I am working in studio, I discover a place where mind, body, spirit connect. This connection allows my work to flow from a place of pure inspiration, curiosity, and discovery. I work for the joy of it,
I work to create a world of my own,
Welcome to my world.

Artist Biography
Born in Southern Florida in late 1969, Heather Brown-Truman split her childhood between Florida and the west coast of the United States. From a very early age, her creative mind was inspired by powerful words and images, and she soon began to create art from them.
Her art career began 10 years ago with recycled furniture and objects d’art. She quickly graduated to oils and mixed media works on canvas. Since then, this self-taught savant has become internationally recognized and collected; her works are known as much for their skillful play of light and shadow, bold colors, and the powerful quotes that inspired the work as they are for the fact that she paints ambidextrously.
The artist currently resides in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky, with her mate, their 3 sons, 2 dogs, and 1 bad kitty.
