...Yorker still creates work that evokes the free spirit of art in the 1960’s—as evidenced in 2005’s “Surfing on Acid,” a painting dominated by red, green, and yellow oozing over a hot pink background that recalls the color fields of Ellsworth Kelley and Mark Rothko. Though Heilmann identifies with the abstract expressionist movement, she prefers to see herself as offering a “postmodern look” that allows her to convey emotion more directly.

Their own horror is not melodramatic, but written in the confusion and shock across their faces.
