Lisa Heintzman: Innovative Abstractor Saturday, January 11, 2025

Lisa Heintzman: Innovative Abstractor

January 11-April 5

Public Reception: February 9, 1:00-3:00 p.m.

My paintings are inspired by the energy and emotions that I draw around me. I am very observant in how one motion affects the next and how simple daily life has so many moments all compiled into one day. I paint my abstract art with these emotions and perfect imperfections of each moment. In my paintings, time is suspended, as we are all dealing with chaos. I believe beauty is necessary and my intent and purpose is to help you view the imperfect world in bringing you calmness, joy and serenity of the movements you see in my paintings.
