Sarah Heppner

Sarah uses still life to explore the beauty and diversity in simple objects, natural forms, flowers, and water. Her eye is drawn to the play of light through glass or petals, upon fabric or glossy surfaces. She is intrigued by texture and the contrasts that can be created by placing different objects and materials next to each other.

She enjoys taking realism to the edge of achieving photorealism, but also likes to explore the abstract potential of objects, for example in the form of scrunched up paper, or in the way water distorts colours. Occasionally there’ll be a hint of surrealism within her pieces. Her intention is to capture the viewers imagination and engage both and emotional and intellectual response.
