Anna Niblic Heggie
As a painter and photographer I find it interesting and fun to oscillate between the two media. I also love to draw and have become less attached to what I do and more interested in the creative process. It is something I liken to ‘seeing through the eyes of my inner poet’ and flowing with it.
I started at an early age and just kept going regardless. Expressing ideas, thoughts and perceptions became a kaleidoscope in which I could sketch an idea, capture an image with my camera or investigate further through painting.
The skilful and playful manipulation of layers and effects in a computer program became another means to creating images. Painting on the other hand, requires more time for reflection and completion. The combination of the real, the unconscious mind, compositional devices, painting skills and more all come together as if part of a theatrical setting.
The television 12 part series I did years ago with Bris.31, Arts Masterclass, was a lot of fun. The Kedamaian exhibitions shown in three countries, the Medieval French Village solo shows across Australia and New Zealand, the Brisbane exhibitions of female objects and the earlier Indian Summer shows amongst others, reflect many years of working as an artist.
Since moving to Macleay Island, I have had a major solo exhibition in Brisbane’s Redland Museum, the Mannequin Series.
I have made many new friends on Macleay Island and find the artist community, the art centre and the connection with others a wonderful thing to be part of.
