Heather Blanton is a prolific artist based in Northeast Florida whose most recent “Sports” series has garnered widespread attention. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1973, she has been producing works of art in various media since childhood. Blanton made her way to painting after years of working in black-and-white photography and manipulated Polaroids. Since its inception in 2013, the “Sports” paintings have been captivating audiences around the world for how they capture the nuances of athleticism and sports fandom. The “Sports” series has allowed Blanton to combine her own innate competitive nature with an entire career’s worth of multimedia experimentation. The result is a body of work that appeals to audiences far beyond traditional art realms. Blanton’s commissions now include the NFL Draft and the PGA Tour Headquarters, with features regularly appearing in local and national media outlets. Blanton’s work has been shown in museums, private galleries, and major corporate institutions all over the United States and Europe, from Nashville to New York City, the Netherlands and beyond. Voted one of Saatchi Art Onlines 20 to Watch in 2020, Blanton is blazing away at becoming a force in the modern contemporary emerging artists market. She currently also combines talents with her identical twin sister Holly Blanton to produce collaborative sports pieces including the PGA Tour Headquarters.

Included in Saatchi's 20 ARTISTS TO WATCH IN 2020 Known for her creative works depicting the art of motion while celebrating competition and the human spirit, Heather Blanton is an American painter and photographer living and working in St. Augustine, Florida. Recent commissions include PGAT0ur HQs. Her latest series, “Sports,” depicts a wide range of subjects from golfers in mid-swing to cyclists peddling toward the finish line to hundreds of marathon runners racing to glory. Born in Jacksonville, Fla. in 1973, Blanton studied art at the University of North Florida and The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. She spent three years living in New York City exploring hand-manipulated and distressed Polaroid SX-70 film images. As analog film teetered on the edge of extinction, Blanton turned to fine art painting as her next medium. Today she has created hundreds of large and small sports paintings influenced by Abstract Expressionism and conflicted by a blend of animation and whimsy. “My works are focused on the energy of the race,” Blanton explains of her “Sports” series. “They are easily distinguishable by compositional elements of color and form. By creating dialog between the viewer and the subject matter, this series is a cohesive collection of flat images with a chaotic, pattern-like style where the lines and negative spaces are almost as important as the subject matter.” A professional artist since 2004, Blanton has successfully shown in nearly 50 exhibitions and her work can be found in public and private collections around the globe from Amsterdam and Atlanta to Manhattan and Miami. She has been featured in numerous publications and media outlets and continues to work as the conduit to capture her client’s passions of skiing, cycling, golfing, horse racing, and everything in between.
