CAW ART/talk: Mary Heebner & Macduff Everton — A Marriage of Art and Life
Wednesday April 3, 2019
7-9pm
$10
The Community Arts Workshop, 631 Garden Street, Santa Barbara

Mary Heebner is a fine artist using handmade paper and mixed media in her large scale works on paper, often resulting in related Fine Art Books. Macduff Everton is a Fine Art Photographer, featured for years in major publications, and a visual anthropologist for his work on the contemporary Maya.

Both of their work is collected in many public and private institutions.

This CAW ART/talk, like the first with the Shelton group, will focus on artist collaboration: beginning with Mary and Macduff’s individual histories in Santa Barbara, their initial trip to Tulum Mexico when they fell in love, their artist luminary wedding, and the subsequent trajectory of their art work together. Years of travel and consistent practice have produced a broad and rich body of work for them individually as they have been inspired by their life together.

Their long-time friend Patsy Hicks, Director of Education at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, will facilitate their storytelling, with large projections of their works. Their trips to Iceland, Patagonia, Chile and the American West are sure to provide a dynamic visual presentation. The content of their work illuminates varied and diverse topics such as environmental change, feminism, poetry, and multi-cultural awareness.

April is also National Poetry month, and Mary’s fine art book, On the Blue Shore of Silence: Poems by the Sea by Pablo Neruda, will be on exhibit at Santa Barbara City Hall Gallery April 3-May 25, 2019.
