Biography

Kelly Heaton (b. 1972) is an American artist who examines the impact of electronics on modern civilization. Trained in art and science, Heaton uses her engineering background to explore psychology, the human-machine relationship, and our increasing separation from nature. Her early work contains functional circuits that give a "machine life" dimension to her art by reacting to the viewer with sound, light, and movement. Her recent practice is characterized by layers of imagery that portray human identity in the digital age. She combines high-tech and luddite themes, as well as electronic and static media, to offer her audience a deeper understanding of contemporary culture. Heaton's work also reminds us to stay connected with nature lest our dependence on technology be our demise.

In addition to her studio practice, Kelly Heaton is an inventor, a self-taught perfumer, and founder of The Virginia Perfume Company.
