EXHIBITION

Dab Art Co. is pleased to present WE CAN BE HEROS, a solo exhibition of works by Heather Milliman. View the online exclusive WE CAN BE HEROS in its entirety on our collectors platform ARTSY (APR 15 - JUL 15, 2022).

Created all in the first few months of 2022, this collection is an emotional narrative of Heather’s time in solitude reflecting on personal struggles exacerbated by ongoing global conflict. The seemingly basic white base of each piece is a rugged backdrop providing a gritty foundation for these opulent abstracts, blocks of bright blues and greens are anchored by the appropriately heavy gold and silver metallics. Derived from one of Heather’s favorite musicians, WE CAN BE HEROS is an exhibition titled for its emotional representation of the changes a single person can make through anything with grit, gratitude and grace.

Growing up on Cape Cod, the natural world informed how and what I saw as beautiful; the ocean, fog, sand and horizon. Once I figured out how to capture it through photography, I went on to work in painting, sculpture, ceramics, art from found materials and mixed media, always returning to photography and painting for grounding. I studied Studio Art  and Art History at The University of Vermont and eventually joined corporate life, painting on the side. When the pandemic hit, I rented a studio overlooking a New England river and finally devoted myself to painting; every day is spent looking out the window at the light and water. I've exhibited across the United States and in Europe, winning a couple prizes along the way. My non-representational, colorist  work is comprised of layers of acrylic paint, metal leaf, crayon and ink on canvas; they glow from the inside, emitting a light and energy from a now long-gone moment in time.
