Gallery MAR Presents: Katherine Heigl’s “Mother Nature” Exhibition
Gallery MAR is proud to unveil the first ever solo exhibition of interdisciplinary artist, long-time collector, and friend Katherine Heigl: “Mother Nature.” This exhibition is not only a celebration of Heigl’s artistic talent but also a testament to the transformative power of art, where art becomes a conduit for self-expression, philanthropy, and connection. All sales from the exhibition will benefit the Heigl family’s non-profit, the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, founded in 2008 by Nancy and Katherine Heigl to help end animal cruelty and abuse. In an exclusive interview with Gallery MAR, Heigl shares insights into her artistic journey, inspirations, and the profound connection between her art and her philanthropic endeavors.
To add another layer to the dream, Katherine Heigl will be showing her artwork alongside the fine leather artwork of her husband, musician Josh Kelley.
Recently, Josh Kelley has embarked on his own captivating journey into the world of visual arts through leather artistry, a venture that showcases his own creative versatility and craftsmanship. What began as the following of a curiosity, crafting belts and guitar straps for fellow musicians, has evolved into a true passion and commitment to mastering fine leather craft as Kelley studies under master craftsmen and pursues more ambitious projects like building custom saddles from scratch. Through meticulous artistry and the painstaking labor of love evident in every handcrafted piece, Kelley’s leather art beckons us to appreciate the beauty of traditional craftsmanship and the spirit of Americana creativity.
Through their captivating creations, Heigl and Kelley invite viewers to embark on a visual journey that celebrates nature, creativity, and the enduring bond between humans and animals. We hope you’ll join us in welcoming Katherine Heigl’s and Josh Kelley’s “Mother Nature” exhibition at Gallery MAR, opening on May 31, 2024, where art and philanthropy will converge to inspire, uplift, and celebrate the transformative power of art.
