Kon Heyer - Visual Artist
My paintings and sculptures are executed in an ‘abstract expressionist’ style, experimenting with different media and colour. chance, accident and incident, along with the element of surprise, all play an integral part in my work.
I divide my time working in my home studio and 4wd-ing in the outback.
I am a member of The Artist's Voice, an Association of Professional Visual Artists based in the Adelaide Hills.
