Heller’s studies in mythology, nature, transcendence, ritual, and consciousness inform his visual approach. Primordial forms and colors evoke the process of origination and decay, both on the physical plane and the imagined one. He is based in NYC.
In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?

Acceptance of the uneasy harmony with one’s environment, impermanence, and constant flux.
