About the Item

Heather Lancaster is a native of Atlanta, Georgia and hails from a family of artists. In fact, her mother is a painter, so she grew up immersed in the visual arts. Conversation at home circled around composition, color theory, perspective, and line quality. Rather than photographs, she and her siblings have her mother’s drawings and paintings as primary documentation of their childhood. It seems only natural that such an atmosphere fostered a profound appreciation for art, even as a child. With a deep appreciation of form and an insistent curiosity, Heather Lancaster explores intricate, sensitive, and lyrical animal forms and gestures. Finely tuned body mechanics, and a range of extraordinary design adaptions are carefully considered and rendered with a delicate hand. Through her own evolving creative process, the figures begin with a single line and are slowly realized with layers of graphite, India ink, and charcoal. Lancaster's marks and voice as a visual artist echo her admiration of the perfection attained by the marvel that is natural selection. Heather began her own study of art and visual expression as an adolescent and continued it throughout her college years and beyond. Her awareness of and love for the beauty in nature and wildlife is evident in her sensitive, finely rendered drawings of animals and botanical elements. Her choice of graphite gives each piece a quiet, timeless feel, which draws the viewer into the piece. The exquisite detailing encourages further consideration and reveals the purity of each carefully drawn subject. When Heather is not at the drawing board, she can be found running on in-town paths or through the woods, reading, exploring new art, and enjoying her busy family and nature.

Elegant Bird Facing Left - Original Framed Animal Painting on Paper
By Kellie Newsome
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Dynamic and abstracted still-life artworks are the specialty of Georgia-based artist Kellie Newsome. Her work is characterized by a loose and expressive style emphasizing line structure to celebrate the details. Through layering additional texture, Newsome creates paints with depth and liveliness. This one-of-a-kind 14-inch high by 11-inch wide mixed-media artwork is created with acrylic and pencil on watercolor paper. The artwork comes beautifully adorned with a gold frame, which is included in the size and price of the piece. It bears the artist's signature on the front and back and comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery. Convenient shipping is available for those in the local Los Angeles area. Affordable worldwide shipping is available for U.S. and international art collectors. Newsome says about her work: “Painting is my passion; I enjoy the process of capturing something beautiful and organic while creating contrast with vibrant and pastel colors combined with quiet spaces and bold mark-making. My subject matter is often plants or animals that make me feel empowered or inspired as metaphors for my own life experiences.” Born in Columbus, Georgia, and raised on a small farm in Alabama, Newsome's love for flora and fauna shines through in her work. Her art practice received sponsorship from Chroma's Atelier Interactive brand of paint while she attended Troy University. Today, her artworks are collected across the United States, and she continues to create from her studio in Columbus, Georgia.
