Heather Jeanne Chontos
This week we are joined by the wonderful Heather Jeanne Chontos. Heather’s dynamic and idiosyncratic style is immediately recognisable. She joins us to discuss her work and share insights from her creative journey.“As a painter, I work impulsively, harnessing the power of gestures to create instinctive compositions that combine bold colours, dynamic marks and organic forms. Rather than using brushes or other traditional tools, I apply paint with scraps of plastic, such as hotel-room key cards, or draw and scratch at the surface using the paint tube itself. The fine edges of my chosen instruments allow me to draw long, penetrating lines and create large, highly saturated fields of colour.”Heather Jeanne Chontos
