Heide Follin is the Board Chair Awardee from the 73rd A-One Exhibition.

 

 

I transform inspiration from nature into lyrical organic abstraction. Working in the fluid space between control and the need to be free, my paintings burst from the bounds of the specific to reveal patterns and new worlds to explore. 

Photographs of botanical specimens and landscapes are my jumping off point. Energetic forms call out to me as I wander through the garden. I spy a cluster of shepherd hooks with their fuzzy heads bobbing in the wind, which morph into waving arms. I find delight in what’s hidden in the shadows, and embrace the vibrant florals and intricate foliage. The glint of sun on the chicken wire becomes strokes of dancing blue lines.
