Heather Sundquist Hall is an artist and illustrator based in the small town of Smithville,Texas. She grew up in Queens, New York, ended up in Philadelphia for school and beyond for many years, then moved to Texas with husband and fellow artist, Michael Hall in 2015. They first lived just on the edge of Austin and still maintain a great community of artist friends there, but slower pace and a smaller community called them to Smithville, where they now have another small community of art friends.
Heather’s paintings are drawn from memories, nostalgia and narratives.
Her artwork honors what has been forgotten, overlooked or under- appreciated by bringing it in the forefront of a lovely landscape or transformed into a new life by altering the purpose of an object into a completely different natural setting. She was introduced to gouaches by her husband Michael when they first started dating in Philadelphia. She was frustrated with acrylics and gouaches were an immediate fit. Her gouache paintings over the years since we have known her have been grown to become rich magical pieces which shine with light and sparkle with detail.
Heather is magical in her big tiny painting talent, biographic wit and nostalgia. She has the touch to make your heart warm and sing out loud. She is a jewel and a hell of a dreamy landscape painter .
Many of the pieces below were included in Heather’s recent exhibit, curated by Caleb Bell at the Cole Art Center in Nacogdoches, Texas….
