Visions From the Main Artery: The Art of David F. Heatwole

In his first solo exhibition in Ohio, 11th-generation artisan David F. Heatwole unveils a sweeping collection of surreal and abstract works exploring symbolism, consciousness, and the invisible forces shaping human experience.

Featuring the complete In-Sana Tea series alongside works from the Molecules, Perceptions, Shifting Planes and This Artists Dream series, the exhibition invites viewers into a world where energy, dreams, and imagination intersect.

The exhibition debuts Heatwole’s newest In-Sana Tea painting — a powerful response inspired by current controversies surrounding federal ICE practices and the human tragedies connected to them — presented through a technologically integrated approach that reflects Heatwole’s commitment to innovation and contemporary discourse.

A landmark presentation from the final artist of a historic creative lineage.
