Anne Heeney

Anne Heeney attended Sir George Williams University (Montreal) Fine Arts in 1971-'72, and enrolled also in Fine Arts at the University of Victoria from 2006 to 2008. For twenty-five intervening years she alternated between hand-crafting animated films internationally and making paintings in the hamlet of Verwood in southern Saskatchewan. When the animation industry digitized at the end of the millennium, she retired to a full-time private studio practice first in Moose Jaw and subsequently in Victoria. Her paintings have been shown at the Mendel, the MacKenzie, and are in the permanent collection of the Moose Jaw Museum and Art Gallery. Wolf Willow is a secular kind of scripture. One of a dozen plein air paintings made during Anne Heeney's month-long residency hangs in the dining room of the Stegner House.
