Heather Konschuh
Heather Konschuh received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Alberta College of Art and Design, Calgary, Alberta and undertook studies at the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. She now lives and works in Ontario, after receiving a residency at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga.
When I discovered glass, I had finally found the art form that challenged me in all the right ways; it was physically and intellectually challenging and three-dimensional. My art has been centered on an abstraction of shapes and forms found in my life. Growing up on a cattle and grain farm in the countryside, nature plays a huge part in that. My work is a reflection of my greatest inspiration, the beauty of nature. During my studies in Australia I became fascinated with the parrots in Canberra. They were so beautiful to look at but sounded atrocious. Their powerful beaks are symbolized in my Flightless and Featherless Series of tall blown vases. The spouts on these vessels represent the curvature of their bills while the fresh colors imitate how brightly colored they are
