In 2006, Heilmann received the Anonymous Was a Woman Foundation Award and is widely known today as towering figure in abstract painting. She first showed at The Kitchen in 1981 in a group exhibition entitled, “More Portraits.” For more information, please visit: http://www.303gallery.com/artists/mary-heilmann
