Heidi Hybl

Gold Fog, Abstract Oil Painting

2020

Artist Comments
Looking across the Pacific Ocean from her porch in the hills of the Big Sur coast in California, artist Heidi Hybl is often treated to a slow-moving fog bank. "On one such day, the colors in the late afternoon were golden," says Heidi. "I captured the essence of that view in this work."

About the Artist
Artist Heidi Hybl starts each day listening to the birds sing in the canyon near her home in Big Sur. Then, she makes a cup of tea, reviews the previous day’s work, turns on her podcasts and starts. She paints in a small studio that is separate from her house, and works on several pieces at a time within what she would call “organized chaos.” She also takes time to tend her flowers, vegetables, chickens and goats. A former medical professional, Heidi worked for several years with laser machines, developing a knowledge and a fascination with the color spectrum and light. Living in Big Sur offers inspiration in the ever-changing atmospheric conditions that arise when hills, canyons, and ocean meet. She then reduces these elements to an abstract experience on canvas in a color palette derived from her surroundings: sunsets and storms, fire and fog.
