SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

Heather Olsen

I am an oil painter based in Salt Lake City, UT and have been drawing and painting my entire life. My art endeavors began at a very young age and my passion for creating grew as I did. I studied with various professional artists at the Bridge and Hein Art Academies and received my Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Utah. I am interested in the human condition and emotional aspect of our existence, and portraying the soul of every living thing. From figures to still life, landscapes to animals, I love to paint it all. My paintings are rooted in realism due to my classical training, but created with expressionistic brushstrokes and heavy application of paint to convey the emotional connection. I am a deeply passionate person, and I can’t help but to pour that passion into my art.
