Wyllis Heaton. Amazing artist! Such unique style! For those of you who have been to Monhegan, I know you’ll recognize the above scene! So fabulous without being overworked, very nice! I even love his signature, very cool!

Can I say… you’re in for quite a treat?! Wyllis just unleashed one heck of a website! It’s gorgeous, showcasing each painting perfectly. Ahhh, the wide variety of paintings boggles my mind. This guy is talented. I loved reading about his different jobs, so interesting. I love when artists put some personal info on their website… it helps us who are far away not only see their art, but get to know them as a person! I am impressed!

Ahhh, Camden Harbor (Maine), a beautiful place and captured so nicely! I love the warm palette! The water is incredible and the boats, whoa! I just happened to pick two Maine paintings because I have Maine on my mind. Lots of friends are there or on their way there right now to paint, and these paintings bring back great memories!

Wyllis, you are amazing! We all look forward to seeing your next work of art! Did you know that Wyllis is also an award winning landscape designer? I would say he’s one very talented guy!

Read a blip about Wyllis from his website:

Wyllis started painting at an early age and his work is widely collected.  He studied at the famed Art Center College of Design and has continued his studies with other modern masters of the craft. 

After college he taught painting for seven years to a close group of 100 students, many of whom went on to art colleges and careers in the visual arts, while winning honors of their own along the way.  He relocated to Santa Barbara in 2007 to design and install gardens along with his brother Adam Graham.

Currently, Wyllis is displaying artworks at a number of galleries in the Santa Barbara area, and in Bar Harbor, Maine. ​
