November Art: Looking to nature for guidance

Dave Smith

Heather Gartside is a storyteller and photographer compelled to record what she sees and how she feels and reacts.

At Galleri Upper Canada this autumn, the British artist and writer is presenting an exhibition of landscape photography.

The photographs look to nature for guidance, finding a healing power and resilience in wild places.

“I use my own experiences as material, plus a dash of magical realism and a large pinch of salt,” she explains.
