In-progress paintings in Mary Heilmann’s studio. The artist works an organic farm next door with Robert and Jo Ann Comfort.
Mary Heilmann.
In the living room, small-scale works by David Reed, Paul Lee, Ray Johnson and other Heilmann contemporaries hang next to a collage of “return to sender” envelopes by John Waters.
Heilmann’s handmade ceramics comfortably coexist with vintage flea-market finds.
A framed painting on paper by Heilmann hangs above a dining table made by the artist.
Works by friends including Dianne Blell and Christopher Knowles hang on an opposing wall, loosely arranged above a serape-covered sofa and an Eames rocker.
Heilmann paints and makes furniture, such as these wooden club chairs with vinyl webbing, in the barn/studio, which was designed by architect Lisa Zaloga and built by Chris Kyprianou.
The tools of the trade in the barn/studio.
The large canvas in the master bedroom is by artist Hermine Ford. The vintage Marimekko sheets were handed down from Heilmann’s mother; Heilmann made the vase and the small painting.
