"Creating art reminds me of who I am, what's important to me, my place in the universe. When I paint, the whole world falls away."Heather Keith Freeman has been painting since she was old enough to hold a brush, on any available surface (much to her parents' chagrin). After a few years' digression into the world of robotics and artificial intelligence, though, she decided she'd had enough of the real world. She quit her job, moved across the country, and has been a full-time artist ever since; poorer, but far happier! Her work explores the anthromorphization of abstract ideas using mythological and psychological archetypes; the extremes of emotion as conveyed through intense colors and long, sweeping lines. Glory, possibility, exploration, and wonder are all central themes. She is a voracious reader of science fiction and fantasy. She bellydances, practices yoga, and hopes one day to get back into rock climbing, skydiving, and figure skating. On those rare occasions she manages to contort her brain into the confines of grammatical sentences, she blogs. She is active in Horizon Oasis of the Ordo Templi Orientis, a fraternal order of ceremonial magicians practicing the Law of Thelema. Ms. Freeman lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with her family. She suffers from the curse of being interested in absolutely everything, and so never has any free time.
