Washington based artist Andrea Joyce Heimer classifies her work as "outsider art", or paintings of strange suburbia. Her solo exhibition at the Good Luck Gallery in Los Angeles, "Suburban Mythology: Volume 2", is a continuation of her main theme: every day dramas full of dark humor, based on real people and events in Heimer's life. Her simple and flat visual style recalls artists like Mark Whalen, Mel Kadel, or Deedee Cheriel, but this can be mis-leading. Heimer fills her scenes with personal symbolism.
