Charles Edward Heaney

Education:

Museum Art School, Portland
University of Oregon

Biography:

If ever an artist exhibited a strong sense of what the Oregon country represents, it was Charles Heaney. He worked in many media, mastering one and then turning to something different. Heaney adopted C.S. Price's ideal of the simple life, with almost obsessive dedication to his art. Heaney loved eastern Oregon, where he traveled extensively and took photos that would jog his memory when he returned to the studio to paint the landscapes he loved.

Media:

Prints (etching), oil, watercolor, tempera
