Heather Sisk
Artist
I am drawn to themes of witness, connection and transformation. How are we in relationship with one another, and our natural and cultural environments? In my portraits, I strive to capture true likeness always inhabited by interior emotion, where the individual becomes less of an object, and engages the viewer back through reaction or intention. I also use portraits and the human form as my canvas for exploring larger cultural and spiritual issues through series designed for exhibition.
My journey with sculpture began in 2008 at the Art Students League in NYC where I studied under Jonathan Shahn and Barney Hodes until 2015. I started exhibiting my sculpture in 2012.
