“My paintings manifest from my interest in the built environment, and the interplay between city life, nature and infrastructure. My work is greatly influenced by my career as a landscape architect, where I learned to appreciate the overlap of history, topography, cultures, and industry that occurs in an urban environment. As an artist, I similarly respond to certain sites that might otherwise be overlooked, whether industrial areas, old streetcars, or the urban street. I want to capture the appeal and life of these settings with the vibrancy of colors that is my foundation. Every canvas is a reflection on the underlying beauty of the places we see, and often don’t see, in our world.” - Heather Capen
