Statement

Heaton's work is a therapeutic process,creating expressions of personal surroundings with heightened sensitivity. Taking inspiration from the comfort of objects, places, memories and, what he describes as 'the colourful disorder of the present,'Heaton's paintings respond the passage of time within an ever-shifting society.' Time stops for no one but in the paint I can hold onto it a little ..'longer
