Contemporary artist Lee Heekin explores issues of organization, chaos, and confinement across a variety of subjects and diverse processes; she uses wood, wax, resin, oil, acrylic, and cyanotype. These materials help her explore the tension between accepting and defying boundaries in a tangible, tactile, and interactive way. Heekin transforms the inanimate objects into a sculptural relief that is no longer a rigid object, but instead a sculptural balance between chaos and order. Heekin uses the repetition of simple lines, forms, and shapes to create dynamic and playful structures.
Heekin has been surrounded by art for as long as she can remember. Growing up in London, England, and Greenwich, CT, her early exposure to galleries and fine art museums around the world helped shape her constant love of art and desire to pursue her passion.
