Colorful and thought provoking, “Landscapes Interrupted,” a mixed media exhibit by Richmond Beach artist Judith Heim, focuses on the human impact on the environment. The exhibit runs March 16-April 28 at the Edmonds Library, 650 Main St.
These works on paper suggest time, place and environmental impact, speaking to our continuing imprint on the natural landscape: the footsteps that have come before us and those that will follow. Heim’s work in this series is mixed media collage with the base painting primarily in acrylic ink combined with pastel, colored pencil and watercolor crayon.
“I decided early on that I did not want my art to be a noun,” Heim said in a press release. “I like to create visual metaphors and maybe even a dangling participle or two! I see it as a celebration of the journey.”
Heim received her design and art education at Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., and at Cornish School of Allied Arts in Seattle. Her professional experience includes interior design, corporate exhibit design, photography, graphic design and mixed media fine art.
