ABOUT THE ARTIST
Caroline Otis Heffron uses layered images to create imaginative spaces that question the relationships between women’s bodies, memory, belonging and cultural objects. The women are often interpretations of archetypal personas that Heffron identifies with, such as the lost wanderer, the collector, and the creator. The paintings build dualistic conversations through her experiences of being vulnerable yet needing to be strong, remembering to be present but imagining the future, and community allyship yet feeling alone. The compressed compositions invite new dialogues about the contemporary identities of goddesses, food sellers, buskers, and consumers of culture. Heffron’s paintings become theatrical tableaux that, through a lack of spatial depth and high chroma colors, highlight her invented worlds where characters and narratives explore time travel, dreams, and disorientation. The scenes commemorate workers, muses, prize holders, drinkers, and art viewers in a connected choreography where contemporary spaces and ancient symbols mingle.

Heffron graduated with an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. Her paintings have been shown at SPRING/BREAK Art Show, Studioninedee, Kent State University, Long Island University, and La Mama La Galleria among others. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY; she has been a PARADICE PALASE member since 2022.
