"Interval Plane" Framed Abstract Painting by Heather Nelison
Dimensions: 19"W x 1.25"D x 19"H By Heather Neilson. Abstract composition in layered tones of blue, teal, cream, and soft earth. About the Artist Heather Neilson is an abstract painter and mixed media artist based in Northwest Connecticut. With a practice spanning three decades, her layered work explores memory, landscape, and the passage of time — building intuitive surfaces that capture not how the natural world looks, but how it feels: the weight of a humid summer afternoon, the particular quiet of a familiar place, light shifting through seasons. Working across acrylic, oil, cold wax, and collage, her paintings balance quiet and tension in equal measure. She has exhibited widely throughout Connecticut and New England, completed residencies at the Studios at MASS MoCA and the Atlantic Center for the Arts, and studied at the Art Students League of New York. Her work is held in private collections across the United States.
