Community Canvas is an initiative presented by The Culture Show where GBH features artwork from community members on our Digital Mural.
Today’s mural features artwork by Heidi Caswell Zander. Her work is inspired by Boston’s John Singer Sargent, who is known for capturing the environment and people with rich color and bold brushstrokes. Her work is meant to be as Matisse expressed, “like a sofa armchair at the end of the day.”
Homegrown Cape Ann artist Zander channels her language of color into the diverse scenes and cultural history of our coastal shores and New England woods. Trained by locals as a child, then at Rhode Island School of Design, Zander now lives in Rockport where she opened Tidal Edge Gallery in 2005. She is a juried member of many local art associations and the National Association of Women Artists.
