  • HEATHER DAY: Hey, I'm Heather, and this is my toolbox.

  • Here's my sketchbook.

  • I try to bring my sketchbooks everywhere

  • I go just so that I make sure not to miss a moment,

  • and I'm able to capture it there on the spot.

  • Here's my paint brush.

  • I have a ton of these, all different sizes,

  • and it allows me to make a wide range of marks.

  • And here's my slate.

  • I can zoom in and zoom out and undo my marks

  • and keep working at a faster pace.

  • Photos-- let's say I'm going on a hike.

  • I try to capture a little bit of the moment that can remind me,

  • even a mundane detail that happened.

  • And here's a rock.

  • When I'm hiking, I'll pick up random souvenirs along the way,

  • and they can represent the moments

  • I had when I was out there.

  • Pastels-- they really add a lush layer to the canvas.

  • A rag, a book of essays, some pencils, a swatch book,

  • and tape.

  • So my work is really unplanned, and I actually rely a lot

  • on the element of the accident.

  • And as I develop and work on it, the painting

  • starts to evolve in front of me, and I try to take an idea

  • and run with it.

  • Sometimes I'll stand on top of a 10-foot ladder

  • and drop like pools of paint and pigment onto the canvas

  • and let it kind of explode and splash and see

  • where it ends up.

  • I made paintings that were turned

  • into Pixel cases and this.
