Headline: Artist Lucia Heffernan Paints Chicks In Striking Yoga Poses

Caption: Artist and graphic designer Lucia Hefferman’s work explores her lifelong fascination with animals. In her latest artwork she depicts chicks in perfect yoga poses. Lucia, who is from Salt Lake City, Utah, exhibited the works at the CODA Gallery in Palm Desert, California last month (December2021). The cute creatures curl and stretch their feathered limbs into perfect poses - emulating the most flexible yoga practitioner. Explaining what inspires her paintings, Lucia writes on her website: “Through my paintings, I seek to give animals a voice and a personality, while making light of our uniquely human existence. By imagining what animals might do if put in human situations, I stage tableaus that shine a spotlight on both their innocence and raw instinct. This collision between animal and human sensibilities creates a whimsical, theatrical, and often humorous world that viewers can relate to on an emotional level.” All her yoga chicks originals are sold, but you can still shop prints on Etsy, and for prints and other originals via her website, www.luciaheffernan.com.
