"I saw my first sculpture by Heather Johnson Beary in 2007. My husband and I had just moved to Prescott, and while exploring our new town, I walked into one of the major art galleries on Whiskey Row. When I entered the gallery, the first thing I saw was Heather's HUGE, monument-sized bronze of a giant collared lizard. I immediately fell in love with it… studied it from stem to stern, and found myself smiling, and then laughing out loud at the little ‘surprises’ embedded in the sculpture. That was my first introduction to Heather's artistry and vision. I now own eight of her pieces (not the giant, monument-sized lizard, darn it), and I adore each one. Her work has strength, power, whimsy, technical brilliance, and you can tell that each piece comes from her heart. I'm sure there will be more HJB pieces in my future. Now if I can just find some place for the giant collared lizard…"
