Elaborate fantasy worlds in which everything seems at once enchanted and eerie, Julie Heffernan’s paintings utilize an array of styles and techniques from the grand tradition of European painting as codes for achieving an almost cinematic effect. She received her MFA in painting and printmaking at the Yale School of Art in 1985 and her BFA from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1981. Heffernan has exhibited her paintings throughout the United States since 1988 when she had her first solo exhibition at Littlejohn Contemporary Gallery in New York City. Recent solo-exhibition venues include PPOW in New York City, Mark Moore Gallery in Santa Monica, and Catherine Clark Gallery in San Francisco. Her work was also featured in the exhibition The New Old Masters at the National Museum in Gdansk, Poland. Heffernan is Associate Professor in the Art and Design department at Montclair Sate University in Montclair (New Jersey, USA).
