- 3. Artists Biography
I’m Heather Wallace aka McWallace (MCW) - based on a
reluctance to completely discard my Celtic roots! I started
my career as a Graphic and Exhibit Designer for
TECHNIQUEST in Cardiff Bay. Lured by earning potential
and a certain aptitude, I spent the next 15 busy years in
business and information technology, putting my artistic
interests on the back-burner. I took the step of becoming a
semi-professional artist in December 2006, opening my first
online gallery with www.zerooneart.co.uk to sell limited
edition prints of my then small portfolio of oil paintings, line
drawings and cloth wall hangings - produced in rare
moments of free time over the years.
I was quickly contacted by a startup members club called
Rewarding Art and decided to try my luck exhibiting my artwork in their online gallery,
alongside Damien Hirst and Salvador Dali. As this was a licensing arrangement, I decided
to generate a new set of images for them and set to learning the art of digital
enhancement. The rate of sales took me completely by surprise and spurred me on to
experiment further. I am now completely hooked, drawn in by the vibrancy of the images
that can be created, and see the future of my art as a combination of traditional and
digital techniques.
One of the overriding drivers for me is to create artworks that will enhance and provide
focal points for modern interior design schemes, whether domestic or commercial. For this
reason I have introduced a number of colour themes, such as the hot pinks and the
chocolate cyans that run across the breadth of my work.
My most recent works combine my loves of flowers and science fiction with a passion for
pushing the technical boundaries of what I know. Some breathtakingly beautiful images
have appeared on my screen in the most unexpected ways. Based on these results, I
have begun to create series of artworks that work really well when viewed side-by-side.
I sell my artworks in limited edition print runs of high quality Giclee box canvases or fine
art prints. There may be a choice of sizes for a particular image in separate editions, but
the overall total will not exceed 150 prints. Within the limits of technical capability, new
variations of existing images may be made available on request - tailored to your specific
colour scheme. This is easier in some cases than others, so pricing would be job-specific.
It’s still early days for me as an emerging artist. Writing this in early November I am
currently displaying a range of the Mindscape and Floral Abstract canvases at the Inkspot
Gallery in Cardiff. This is my gallery debut – previously all my marketing has been
through on-line galleries. This is a big step forward, as many of the designs need to be
seen full size for a real appreciation of their impact. I am also now represented by Cardiff-
based agency Creatives and am hoping these twin approaches will help me make an
impact in the corporate and high-end domestic markets.
How would I sum up my work? DEFINITELY contemporary. I aim to produce images that
are eye-catching from a distance, compelling and mood-invoking with satisfying levels of
detail when viewed up close. A “wow” reaction is great. Sublime is what I strive for.

Gazania Silks
In this series I have digitally distorted and enhanced my original oil painting of a stunning gazania flower head. I am drawn to
the textures in these images, evocative of the softest silk. The designs range from the most delicate of imaginary flowers to
coiled other-worldly life-forms. The artworks are presented as canvas wraps with single colour dark edges to match the
background. The exception to this is he Silk Nexus image; in this case the image wraps around the edges of the canvas (face
image is shown).

Silk Marble Merge
In this series I have digitally overlaid and offset two identical images from the Gazania Silks range, applying transparency to the
uppermost image to create new interest through the areas of overlap. I love the dramatic effect this brings to the clean and
uncluttered earlier images, one step further from the original oil painting.
The images shown are derived from Gazania Silk Marble. The canvas edges are white for each of the colours shown. This
artwork can be use to particular effect as a chain of repeating square canvases arranged horizontally or vertically – each
reversed in relation to the previous one.

represents a futuristic venue for an intimate engagement. Canvas edges are black.

This image is derived through a series of digital manipulations performed on the Secret Chamber image. I find the reflections
mesmerizing and love the colour intensity and contrast. This artwork can be purchased on black-edged canvas, to
complement Secret Chamber, or on white-edged canvas to provide a strong focal point in a white-based interior scheme.

Disturbing

Mindscapes in Original Colours
The Mindscape series currently consists of three designs: Bahaman Dancers, Savannah and Glacier. All were painted using
fabric paints on cotton cloth, building up layer upon layer to achieve an intensity of colour. The paintings were inspired by my
travels to Florida and the Bahamas, Kenya and Nepal. Only two of the designs are available as canvases in their original
colours, as Bahaman Sunset (with its original fluorescent green grass, yellow sun and red sky) has been licensed to
Rewarding Art for a limited edition of prints. All are also available as digitally recoloured and enhanced versions (see overleaf).

Bahaman Dancer Versions
The Bahaman Sunset original painting has been digitally enhanced and recoloured to create a series of Bahaman Dancers
images. The effect is intentionally more dramatic than the original, providing higher contrast and rougher edges to the
silhouettes and in some cases exaggerating the existing colour variations within the background. Canvas edges are coloured
to match the silhouettes in all cases (black or dark chocolate brown, as appropriate)

This artwork is a digital treatment of an atmospheric photograph by Ian Philpot of Cardiff of the view over Wastwater from the
path to Scafell Pyke. This is a slight diversion from my usual methods of creating mindscapes, but the quality of the
