When I begin my prayer with Adoration - it allows the "pulse" of my prayer to be thrust from a different mindspace. It causes me to focus less on myself and more on God, His generous gifts to me, and His attentive work in my life and in the lives of others.

Heather Lockhart was born and raised in Sarnia ON Canada, where she currently resides. Her passion for the arts started at a very young age. She recalls a love for “all things creative” from as far back as her
memory serves, even choosing to stand and watch “artists at work” in theme parks, over exhilarating rides.
While studying her artistic journey, she discovered that she had always been attracted to contemporary, abstract things. She enjoys modern architecture, gestural sculptures, organic shapes, textures,
and loose abstract paintings, all of which can be found throughout her home today.
Her “breadcrumb” story of how she returned to her artistic roots is told with excitement and
passion. She is inspired by her spiritual life, the great outdoors, and the beauty of all creation.
It is not uncommon to find her wandering through the woods or along the ocean shore collecting organically shaped pieces of sea fan, textured coral, interesting pods, etc., always thinking about their beauty, and how she can incorporate them into her work.
This artist does not like to be confined to any one subject, but rather uses her love of texture,
layers, movement and color, to create unique works in many different genres.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Through the use of textural substances, mark making, movement and color, I create acrylic mixed media paintings in many different genres, both
abstract and representational.
My inquisitive and experimental nature often produces “unpredictable results”, bringing excitement, and at times turning my practice into an
exploratory study that leads to the most interesting and unique works.
Inspiration often comes from a song lyric or verse that has been ruminating in my mind, and can sometimes be found embedded within the work.
Creating is a contemplative practice that allows me to reach deep within myself to express meaningful thoughts, aspirations, and life challenges, all
the while pursuing what I ultimately long for… “Freedom”.
My desire is to create beautiful contemporary art that expresses my voice
and draws its viewers into deeper reflection through the work.
