Each step in the unknown terrain of the forest leads her deeper into a reckoning with survival and unresolved past issues. Exhibition traveled to Aspen Art Museum, Aspen, Colorado.

BABE IN THE WOODS

I am beyond thrilled to have published my first graphic novel: Babe in the Woods, or the Art of Getting Lost, published by Algonquin Books. Babe emerged from decades of storytelling through my 40+ years of painting, exhibiting and lecturing. In the book, a young artist named Julie, on a hike with her infant son, takes a wrong turn and finds herself on an extraordinary journey through her tangled past.

A recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant, a New York Foundation for the Arts grant, a Fulbright-Hayes grant to Berlin, Heffernan was also a nominee for the “Anonymous Was a Woman” award. Gallery, New York, New York
