Mary Heebner’s Intimacies/Intimismos

Mary Heebner – Wetlands Muse
The average human is composed of 70% water, while the rest is a consortium of minerals. In the case of artist Mary Heebner, this alchemy is conveyed through lush, ethereal depictions of the human body. Her latest exhibition, Intimacies/Intimismos, invites the viewer to imagine the beautiful, often tumultuous relationship between humans and the earth, and also bridges the painted figure with the written and spoken word.

Born and raised in the Los Angeles, Heebner came from a family of musicians, but found her love for painting at an early age. She attended the University of California, Santa Barbara, and has made the city of Santa Barbara her home for over 30 years.

Married to photographer Macduff Everton, Heebner has been his companion in their travels around the world, and uses the traditions and aesthetics of the ancient cultures she encounters to inform her own painting. Working on the floor of her studio, Heebner approaches her painting aerially from all angles, using her hands to develop a close connection with large sheets of rough-hewn paper she uses in her work. Drawing inspiration from the “Anonymous Ancients,” or prehistoric art seen on cave walls or fashioned from bone and stone, Heebner roots her painting in the earthly connection between the present and past.
