This is the website of Richard Heley and Seema Gill Heley. Richard and Seema are painters, writers and poets, paint live as performance and run interactive painting workshops with children. On this site you can buy their paintings, book them to run painting workshops or paint live as performance and commission them to hand paint artwork designed specifically for your office or home.

The art critic Nicholas Usherwood said of Richard's paintings '.... work teeming with rich and exuberant imagery, bold, painterly touches and brilliant colour - Gauguin meets Chagal meets Sidney Nolan - with English restraint and reticence nowhere to be seen, thank goodness ..."
“Two words sum up Seema’s work - versatility and life. The former is reflected in the range of art-forms in which she expresses herself, the diversity of cultural contexts in which she is able to operate, and of the media to which she seems able to turn her hand with ease. The latter appears in her gently colourful paintings, filled with the intertwining forms of humans, animals, birds, fish and insects whose joyous dance draws in the viewers so that they too become a part of the dance.” (Art curater John Allcock )
