About Me
- Artistic Variety with Heather Selby
- I was born in the North of England and came to South Africa 49 years ago and Cape Town has been my home since then. After studying and working at the West of England College of Art and Bristol University, I worked as a creative visualiser in a studio in Bristol. Whilst working in Europe I received commissions for interiors of large corporation offices and designed the exhibition stand at the Hanover International Fair. I have exhibited in Richmond, Western-Super-Mare and the Crain Calman Gallery in Knightsbridge. I also had work on show at the Barnes Gallery in London and in 1981 my work was exhibited in Moscow. Since coming to South Africa, I have done numerous portraits of some well know people.

I find this one of the most difficult subjects to paint. You have painted it well. I Like the pose and the way you captured the covering, letting it meld somewhat into the background to make the figure stand out.

Your handling of both the figure and the drapes is masterful. An amazing painting!
Beautiful painting Heather. Oh how I want to start painting figures! Just not enough hours in my day!
Thank you Jean, Dianne and Carol. I do so appreciate your visiting and leaving these wonderful comments. I did so enjoy painting this one.
I'd just like to echo the comments above - I like the composition as well- dividing the canvas into 3 bands of colour - nice to see you posting again.
this is a beautiful painting, Heather..very feminine, very demure,yet elegant....
