Inspired by Matisse and Marie Laurencin, Anya Heller paints minimalistic expressionistic figures, at once sensual and innocent, in highly colorful dynamic form. She began mining her artistic jewels twenty years ago as a stained glass artist, then a stained glass mosaics artist and finally as a painter, a medium that has greatly broadened her creative flow.
