Item Description
Renowned Santa Barbara artist, Mary Heebner, attended the University of California, Santa Barbara's College of Creative Studies and graduated with a B.A. in 1973. She received her M.F.A. from UC Santa Barbara in 1977, working under William Dole.
Heebner's work has been in both private and public collections, including: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the National Gallery of Art; the National Museum of Women in the Arts; the Library of Congress; the British Library; the New York Public Library; Stanford University; Dartmouth College; Columbia University; University of Chicago; University of Michigan; Indiana University; and Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
She founded simplemente maria press in 1995, which produces limited edition artist's books that combine her paintings and writing. Heebner has also created separate artist's books derived from her paintings based on the works of William Shakespeare, Pablo Neruda and Clayton Eshleman. HarperCollins published trade editions of two of Heebner's artist's books that paired her paintings with the poems of Pablo Neruda, which featured translations by Scottish writer Alastair Reid, printed in honor of the poet's 100th birthday. The first book, On the Blue Shore of Silence, was followed in 2008 by a companion volume, Intimacies.
This offering includes an afternoon studio tour for up to four persons, with an in-depth look at work in progress, a view of her artist's books, drinks and snacks under her pergola, and a copy of her book catalog: Bridging: Art and Images.
