Artists: Heidi Fourie

Heidi Fourie is a full-time artist and part-time lecturer from Pretoria. She completed her BA Fine Arts (cum laude) in 2012 at the University of Pretoria, specialising in painting, where she received the Bettie Cilliers Barnard bursary. She has had numerous solo exhibitions with galleries in Cape Town and Johannesburg. 

Fourie’s practice is led by an intuitive process of deep contemplation, observation and openness to organic processes of the natural world and the spaces we occupy. Walking in, and sometimes crawling through, natural environments is seminal to the artist’s process and feeds her visual vocabulary.
