Overview
Heather Fleming creates original abstract paintings that feel romantic, mysterious, and quietly powerful. Her work is defined by depth, movement, and slow, layered processes that reward long looking. Each piece carries a sense of sophistication without rigidity—designed for collectors who value atmosphere, intuition, and visual richness over trends.
Emotional Register
Her paintings evoke intimacy and intrigue rather than immediacy. They feel contemplative, sensual, and refined—works that don’t shout, but hold a room. There is a sense of tension between softness and structure, with color and movement unfolding gradually over time.
Visual Language & Process
Fleming’s work is visually distinctive, marked by layered pigment, subtle texture, and rich, moody color palettes. The surfaces reveal evidence of a slow, deliberate process—pigment soaking, building, and settling—creating depth that feels almost architectural. The compositions suggest movement and dimensional space, offering a visual experience that changes with light and proximity.
Ideal Spaces
These works are especially well-suited for:
Dining rooms where conversation and ritual unfold
Living rooms (both formal and relaxed) that anchor a home
Transition spaces such as hallways and stairwells, where mood matters
Bedrooms where intimacy and calm are essential
They function as focal points rather than background decor.
Collector Profile
Fleming’s collectors tend to have an eclectic, design-forward sensibility. They curate rather than coordinate. Many are seasoned collectors or confident first-time buyers who value originality and emotional resonance. This work appeals to those drawn to both modern restraint and maximalist depth—people who appreciate complexity, richness, and visual confidence.
Design Compatibility
The paintings pair well with interiors that feature:
Natural materials (stone, plaster, linen, dark wood)
Layered textures and collected objects
Modern, eclectic, or maximalist spaces that value contrast and depth
They complement environments that feel intentional and lived-in rather than styled for trends.
Positioning
This is not decorative art. Fleming’s work is for clients seeking statement pieces with longevity—paintings that evolve with the space and the viewer over time. It belongs in thoughtfully designed homes and private collections where art is central to the atmosphere, not an afterthought. Alongside her more sophisticated collection, Heather offers more playful artworks in her "Works in Motion" series, a playful counterpoint to my core collections while much of my artwork explores quiet reflection, time, memory, and the layered complexity of abstraction. My "Works in Motion" collection was born from a simpler impulse: joy. Unlike the more contemplative and sophisticated series found throughout my original abstract work, "Works in Motion" is intentionally playful, spirited, and expressive — a celebration of movement, color, and delight that resonates in spaces meant for living, playing, and imagining.
Where my main body of work asks the viewer to slow down and reflect, WiM invites you to engage with art that feels lively, whimsical, and full of energy. These pieces are perfect for:
+Second homes, vacation retreats, and vacation rentals
+Children’s bedrooms, playrooms, and creative spaces
+Specialty or relaxed environments that welcome personality
Each work in this series leans into vibrant motion, dynamic composition, and color-forward playfulness, bringing a sense of movement, joy, and wonder into everyday life. Whether that’s through swirling brushstrokes, buoyant shapes, or unexpected color juxtapositions, Works in Motion is art that moves — visually and emotionally.
This collection is designed to spark conversation, inspire imagination, and create lighthearted moments, whether you’re decorating a family space, a bright office nook, or a room meant for laughter and creativity.
It’s art that doesn’t just hang on your wall — it dances with your space; from abstract landscapes with dynamic textures and deep, evocative color palettes, floral paintings bringing a more delicate, modern, and nature-inspired designs to geometric compositions- modern, structured, and visually striking artworks that compliment your serene space.
