Heather Merckle is a multidisciplinary artist based in Queens, NY. Currently, her work is
influenced by stories conceived around the history of rocks and nature, how piles form,
geological time, and the space between where things begin and where they end.
Through factual research and imaginative investigation she creates graphite drawings,
collages, paintings, and small object based sculptures.
Merckle holds a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has exhibited in New York, most recently, with Trestle Gallery, NARS Foundation, and SPRING/BREAK Art Show, as well as internationally in Berlin, Reykjavík and London. She has been featured in several publications including ArtMaze magazine Anniversary Issue 20, New American
Paintings Issues 77 and 83, Studio Visit magazine, and MAAKE magazine Issue 6.
She has been an artist in residence with coGalleries and the Institut für Alles Mögliche, both
in Berlin, Germany; Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles, CA; Outpost Artist
Resources, Queens, NY; SÍM, Reykjavík, Iceland; and LUMEN, Atina, Italy.
