For my mural @youtube, I wanted to strike a balance between harmonious color fields and bold, expressive lines to conjure imagination and spark creative energy in a critical space. The line-work jumps playfully from wall, to floor, to ceiling, even seeping through windows. I took extra time to line-up marks spanning from one surface to another, so the viewer can see shapes forming as they wander through the halls. 💥 You can see and read more from last weeks essay.

Play It Cool, 30” x 22”, mixed media on canvas, 2017 / Unrelated but important note: my partner @chase.mcbride is also an artist and he released an incredible new single today. You can listen to it via the link in my profile or on Spotify, Apple Music, Sound Cloud and everywhere else you can hear music. Give it a listen and if you feel so inclined, share it with your friends. They’ll thank you later. 🎉 Congrats @chase.mcbride, so happy it’s out in the world for everyone to hear.
Here’s a sneak peek of paintings I’ve been working on over the past year. While I’m taking a break from the studio, my team is documenting these works among a few other canvases too. We’ll be releasing them to the public in November. If you’d like to be the first to see the paintings/ inquire, you can sign up for my not-so-often newsletter. 💥 Link in profile. 📷 @chase.mcbride
I’ve spent the week getting to know my dad again after a four year break. We are different in more ways than I can count but one things for sure, we both love to surf. That common ground has really helped this trip and I’m forever grateful to call Hawaii home among the many places I grew up.
Last month, I completed a sprawling, multi-surface mural at the new @youtube Headquarters in San Bruno, California. 💥 Link in bio to read + see more. 📷 @margaretaustin_photo

In an effort to spend more time painting and less time behind the screen, I’m hiring a part-time administrative assistant to join my small, but mighty, studio team! This role will include studio calendar management, project management, and inventory management. This can be a remote position so I invite anyone around the US to apply. Please email a resume and a short intro to claire@heatherdayart.com with subject line : Studio Administrative Assistant.
I love the contradiction of hanging my paintings in a grid when in reality, the process in which they were created was chaotic. These paintings were created during my trip to London last year.
