Approaching the Liminal
We live in many worlds; inside-outside, plant-animal, natural-supernatural.  Although there are many successful painting traditions located in all of these worlds, Heideman has always been drawn to the border between them.  The subjects of her paintings cross thresholds and irrupt into other realms. This exhibition included a selection of her paintings, constructions and reliquary objects. Heideman, painting professor at Smith College, received her MFA from Indiana University and BFA from Boston University School for the Arts. She has exhibited in New York and throughout New England.
