Gro Heining
Drawing and painting have always been a way of expressing herself. Nature is her primary source of inspiration. Painting for Gro is a meditative state of being, where she connect to the elements and the rhythm of nature, weaving dreams and visions into her artwork. Gro's idea of the intention of doing art is to be able to communicate that all things are connected with one another and to the universe.
The interconnectedness of all things in nature represents a deep unity within herself. She likes to paint the invisible, what we cannot see - but feel. How the colors speak to us. Another daily ritual just like her painting, is the importance of every step we take, our action and our thoughts, they are all making an imprint on our world - so gentle steps and time is required for this «dance».
To live in other parts of the world have been an inspiration and education for her. She really felt at home in Santa Fe, New Mexico being a part of the art community during the years 1987 - 1991. Since 2014 she has been living in both Spain and Norway - the polarities of the two very different landscapes have been a constant inspiration to her. And last but not the least, sharing life with her creative photographer companion for the last 38 years have been a mutually enriching for their individual creative paths.
