Reston, Virginia-based artist, Heidi Fowler, makes paintings inspired by photographs taken from the car window. Using the photo as a point of departure, Fowler then uses collage materials, such as junk mail and fabric, along with acrylic paint and vinyl tape, to reconstruct the landscape. While her images are serene and beautiful she dually illuminates cell phone towers, bridges, transformer boxes and other steel impediments. While these devices are necessity to contemporary society they also interrupt our the aesthetics of the natural world. Fowler attended Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus, Ohio and is represented by Glave Kocen Gallery in Richmond, Virginia and Gallery Plan B in Washington, DC.
