Heather Harvey is an American artist living on the Eastern Shore of Maryland near Washington D.C. and Baltimore, MD. Her art and teaching center around experimental, exploratory, and interdisciplinary approaches in art with a focus on ethics and inquiry. She works within both a traditional studio practice that includes painting, drawing, and sculpture, as well as ephemeral approaches that include a walking practice to engage with the environment and collect trash, debris, plants, and other found materials. She was recently awarded residencies at Cultivate’s La Baldi Residency, in Montegiovi, Italy; the Buinho Creative Hub residency in Messejana, Portugal; and a fellowship residency at the Vermont Studio Center. She has had recent solo exhibitions at the Academy Art Museum, in Easton, Maryland; the University Gallery at Salisbury University, MD; Maryland Art Place in Baltimore, MD, and Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, VA. She holds an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University.
