Heather Day

Heather Day (b. 1989, Honolulu, HI) is an artist based in the Mojave Desert of California. She received her Bachelor of Fine Art in 2012 from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, Maryland where she studied painting and art history. 

Rooted in the traditions of abstract expressionism, her paintings explore overlapping themes of sensory perception, memory, and elements of the natural world. Day builds vast inventories of painted forms that are taken apart, rearranged, and sewn back together in a concert of opposing forces and color fields. This counter-productive process embraces our limited control over chaos, and draws the viewer in through rhyming lyrical gestures and harmonizing fields of pigment.
