Heidi Woodhead, a photo-realist oil painter, trained and worked as a forensic crime scene examiner with the Tasmanian Police Force for 11 years. She gained an eye for detail, and an understanding of the shades of life and the fleeting nature of beauty, themes she explores in her art. "I return to floral and botanical themes because I see them as a metaphor for life: exquisite, but often imperfect beauty that is impermanent, transient, tenuous. I strive to capture that beauty before it decays, and to find the glimmer of light in the darkness." Heidi is a self-taught artist, exhibiting since 1998. She lives in South Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
