VIEW EXHIBITION

Heather Hutchison (born 1964 Corvallis, Oregon) was raised between coastal Oregon, Bisbee, Arizona, Laguna Beach and Marin County, California. In 1986, Hutchison moved to New York City. She now works and lives in upstate New York.

Hutchison's constructed works use ambient light as a primary material. She shares similar concerns with the Light and Space artists and takes inspiration from nature. Hutchison's works make essential the phenomena of light in natural and supernatural environments. Each piece is an inquiry into the perception of color, light, and shadow particular to time, day and place. Hutchison is self taught, and has spent thirty-five years developing her own methods and mediums.

In the course of her career, Hutchison has had twenty two solo exhibitions. The two most recent, “Where the Light Slips In” (2022) and “Mid Air” (2020), were held at Louis Stern Fine Art in Los Angeles and Winston Wächter in Chelsea. She has exhibited at The Brooklyn Museum, The Montclair Art Museum, The Smithsonian Institution, The Knoxville Museum of Art and the 44th Biennial of American Painting at The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC. Her work is held in the collections of The Brooklyn Museum, The Hammer Museum, and The Smithsonian Institution.

Hutchison has received two grants from the Gottlieb Foundation in addition to support from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Anonymous Was A Woman, and New York Foundation of the Arts.
