PhotoGraphic Artistry by Heather J. Kirk

“If by highlighting the beauty of Creation my art leads the eye and the heart back to the Creator, my camera lens has given attribution to the true Source.” "At the most basic level what I do as an artist is 'see': being present, noticing, and documenting life as it has always been, yet in such a way that leads others to take notice, to find meaning. More than just beauty, I hope to provide an avenue of knowing to the viewer." Heather J. Kirk is a fine art photographer and digital artist, providing professional, archival-quality prints available on a variety of mediums: photo paper, canvas or art print (watercolor paper), metal or acrylic mount.
