Anam Cara Art Gallery will be presenting “Rhythms”, an exhibit of artwork by Multi-media artist Norma Heslep. Heslep’s artwork includes painting, collages, pottery, jewelry and photography and is on display at the gallery in a show beginning on First Friday, September 5 through October 25. The public is invited to “Meet the Artist” between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 5 at the gallery at 204 State Street, Binghamton, NY.
Heslep studied Art and Design at Alfred University is a graduate of Binghamton University in Fine Arts and Painting. She has taught Liberal Arts, Fine Arts and Design at Broome Community College since 2000, and has also taught at Wells College.
Heslep has exhibited work in galleries and art museums throughout the Triple Cities as well as in Wellsboro, PA, Syracuse, Rochester, Corning, and the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira.
Heslep works in a broad range of media including oil, watercolor, acrylic, drawing, collage photography, sculpture, pottery and a designer line of jewelry. She employs “non-conventional” mediums such as cut up photos, transparencies, “intentional misuse” of conventional mediums. An example is her “Liquid Abstracts” series of photographic images based on a multi-layered effect of several mediums, including her own paintings, the photography (without computer manipulation) as the last layer.
Regardless of the media, Heslep works largely in an abstract style that sometimes washes over into a surrealistic mode.
