ART SHOW
May 9th till 28th,
2026
ARTIST: Heather Hawley
RESIDES: Alberta
BACKGROUND AND EDUCATION
Heather loved art from an early age and learned many of the fundamentals of drawing and
painting from her father, who was also an artist. The balance of her art education has been
acquired through attendance at workshops, extensive self-directed, independent study,
and mentorship programs. Heather pursued a career in law and business, but after retiring
from law in 2015 she is now a full-time artist.
STYLE
Heather works exclusively in oils in a realistic style. She is known for her careful attention to
detail and accurate depiction of the subjects she paints.
INSPIRATION
Heather has always lived in Alberta and developed a real love and appreciation for nature
at an early age, spending a lot of time in the mountains. The varied landscapes and wildlife
that Western Canada has to offer have provided endless inspiration for her paintings. While
she does paint other subjects, painting animals (primarily wildlife) is her passion, and she
enjoys the additional technical challenge that is involved with bringing animals to life on
her canvas.
“What draws me to a particular image is usually dramatic lighting or colour or, in the case
of animals, a scene that displays the character or typical behaviour of an animal. I am also
particularly drawn to scenes with water reflections, as they add more depth and complexity
to a composition. Scenes with one or more of these elements have the biggest emotional
impact on me as an artist and are the ones I choose to paint. My primary goal is to share
the beauty and inspiration of nature with others through my artwork.”
COLLECTORS AND REPRESENTATION
Heather is represented by galleries in Western Canada, and her work is owned by
collectors in Canada, the U.S., Europe and Australia.

I have won numerous competitions to design coins for the Royal Canadian Mint.
In 2002 I was appointed to the Canadian Forces Artist Programme as a War Artist and sent to the Arabian Gulf to paint the War on Terror. I was also chosen to record the major “Rim of the Pacific” exercise, a 5 week deployment on one of our ships painting the Royal Canadian Navies participation along with 8 other navies.
I won 3 of the 6 paintings commissioned by the Royal Canadian Navy to celebrate their 100th anniversary.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I served in the Royal Navy when in the UK and in Canada I have spent 45 years doing volunteer search and rescue. So I have been able to study the skies, clouds, seas and boat/ships on the water. This has given me the eye to accurately record this spectacular environment. And also since I love being at sea I am still an active captain of a volunteer search and rescue lifeboat in my home town of Delta which is located on the Fraser River. I turn 91 this year.
