About

Annette Heully, an internationally exhibited artist, earned her MFA from California State University at Long Beach with an emphasis in Fiber. She received her BA from San Francisco State University with an emphasis in Textiles. She was awarded the Public Installation Grant from Fiber Art Now magazine and is featured in the Winter 2023 issue. She was the Artist in Residence at the Llewellyn Gallery in New York, and a recipient of the Marilyn Werby Scholarship. She was the School of Art nominee for the Bergeron Award for Distinction in the arts. She has over 20 years weaving experience, which not only include her artistic career but production weaving for fashion and interior designers. She has taught in many different forms from workshops, private clients, and at the university level. She currently lives and works in her home town Ojai, California.

Work:

In my work there is an intersection between the animate and inanimate as well as references to the body and landscape. I am interested in how over time, seemingly inanimate forms slowly shift, settle, change and become animate. Although the results are not always immediate, our environment and body have a great effect on each other. Over time physical wounds heal into scars, feelings of loss are soothed by time, tides rise and fall, and paths are made as we walk. These phenomena are just as prevalent externally as they are internally. I am interested in this intersection and how the beauty, synchronicity and poetics of life can be transformed into a visual, spatial and material experience.
