Prospect Park Light

Acrylic on canvas

"I was walking through Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York one early morning when I spied this incredible light coming through the woods. I knew I wanted to capture the scene. There is an incredible amount of detail and color shift running through the image. The light shafts and trees are magical."

— Heidi Dehncke-Fisher

About the artist

Heidi Dehncke-Fisher

The superb tranquility and beauty of nature is my inspiration. It unleashes my creative drive. It is my therapy and inspiration and when I'm surrounded by its quiet magnificence that's when I feel the most present in my life.

After years of painting and illustrating while working as a journalist and in video, in 2019 I had the opportunity to move back to New Jersey and pursue my fine art painting with more vigor. My paintings usually begin with nature or scene exploration. After I photograph my inspiration, I devise my interpretation. I usually work in acrylic or oils and paint in a modern impressionist style. I initially pursued art studies at Pratt Institute. Over time I became a video journalist. Much of my work in media has showcased human struggle and the tenacity of the human spirit. Her documentary, "Dust to Dust: The Health Effects of 9/11,"(Sundance Channel, 2006) was reviewed by The New York Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/11/arts/television/11dust.html
