Heather MacNeil

Originally from Montreal, Heather moved to Vancouver in 1994. Prior to moving west, she lived in Toronto and overseas in Switzerland, Belgium and Germany. She now works out of her studio in Victoria, BC. 

 

Heather has explored working in oils, watercolours, mixed media and acrylics with her paintings ranging from representational to abstract. Currently focusing on abstract compositions, she incorporates vibrant colours, bold brushwork and gestural marks expressing a sense of freedom, joy and spontaneity.

 

In addition to a background in science and psychology, Heather has participated in many art classes and workshops. She has always been drawn to the expressive and healing components of art and the creative process.

 

Heather has exhibited her artwork in many juried shows, and has participated in community art walks and studio tours. She is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, the FCA Victoria Chapter, and the Victoria Arts Council.
