Heather Margaret Horton, (born April 27, 1974) is a Canadian artist.
Horton is known primarily for her oil paintings of solitary figures, often autobiographical, in emotionally compressed counterpoint to their environment.
Born in Burlington, Ontario, Canada in 1974, she received a degree from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario before graduating from the Interpretive Illustration program at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. In 2007, Horton was elected into the Ontario Society of Artists. She had previously been elected into the Federation of Canadian Artists in 2003 and the Society of Canadian Artists in 2002. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections across Canada, the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. In 2007, Horton was profiled for “The Artist’s Life”, a program exploring the creative process that aired on Bravo!, Canada's specialty arts channel.
When asked to describe her work, Horton replied that "[t]here is a prevailing sense of isolation and alienation in my paintings. I want the viewer [to be] curious about what is beyond the borders of the canvas. I like to paint natural people/objects in natural surroundings...environments that are special to them. I strive for an economy of brushwork in my paintings, trying to accomplish the most with the least amount of [brush] strokes."
Horton currently resides and maintains a studio in Burlington, Ontario.
