CUSTOM ART FOR ANY WALL

Heather Ireland

FINE ART

My passion lies in creating captivating artwork that enhances the aesthetic appeal of interior spaces. With a solid foundation in fine art and a BFA in Set Design, I bring a unique perspective that blends the worlds of Studio Art, Theatre, and Interior Design. I combine artistic elements with functional and aesthetic considerations of color and personality of the space. 

Art can direct how you move through the space. I love how paintings can enhance the mood and overall balance of a home (or business). “ Buildings of empty walls don’t feel like home to me. Home should be welcoming, fun to entertain in, and calming where it needs to be.

FAQs

How do you come up with ideas for abstract art?

I draw inspiration from a variety of sources, including personal experiences, emotions, nature, music, and other forms of art. I love learning new mediums and am a total art nerd that experiments with different materials, techniques, and processes to explore new ideas and create unique visual expressions.

I use a wide range of materials, depending on the subject matter and overall “vibe” of the project. Common materials include acrylic or oil paints, brushes, palette knives, charcoal, pastels, ink, collage elements, and various types of paper or canvas. 

What is abstract art?

bstract art is a style of visual art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of visual reality. Instead, it uses shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect. It often emphasizes the expressive and emotional qualities of art rather than the representation of recognizable objects or scenes.

How can I understand and appreciate abstract art better?

Understanding and appreciating abstract art can be a subjective and personal experience. It can be helpful to approach abstract art with an open mind, allowing yourself to explore the artwork's colors, shapes, textures, and overall composition.

What is the meaning behind abstract art?

The meaning behind abstract art can vary greatly depending on the artist and the viewer's interpretation. I tend to lean on “dealer’s choice” as art has a very instinctual experience to the viewer. My interpretation may be a tiny stone to the river of posibilities of its reach. Abstract art often encourages individual perception and emotional response, allowing viewers to engage with the artwork on a personal level. It can evoke a range of emotions, spark imagination, or simply be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities.
