JULIE HEFFERNAN Self Portrait as Post Script 2007



oil on canvas, 67 x 56 inches

Art critic David Cohen describes Heffernan's art thus: "These paintings are a hybrid of genres and styles, mixing allegory, portraiture, history painting, and still life, while in title they are all presented as self portraits." I appreciate her artwork as a collage of styles bringing together history and nature within the individual, thus creating a reason for the individual in a single window. These windows can be as broad as "World," as abstract as "Holes in my Head," and as disturbing as "Quarry" or "Dead Meat."
