Heather Millar; Vintage Toys Brought to Life

We're always excited to receive new works from Prince Edward Island resident, Heather Millar.

Heather is inspired by vintage toys and the story they tell as she breathes new ilife into them through her highly realistic oil paintings.  She further develops a nostalgic feel by keeping the background palette simple and complimentary. By introducing negative space, the viewer can acknowledge the toy as an object of importance; to place it on a pedestal higher than it's original intent and finally, to regard it from a new perspective.

"SInging His Songs of Love" oil on canvas, 36" x 36" $1500

"A Tasty Lunch" oil on canvs, 36" x 36" $1500

"Not a Moment to Lose" oil on canvas, 36" x 36" $1500
