His “Sky Energy to Earth Collection” currently hangs, amongst other colorful gems, at the Out of the Blue Gallery, a venue known to bring affordable art from around the world and into the hands of the local community. The exhibit is scheduled to run through September 10, but his work will still be available continually at the gallery.

Heinrich is an amazing artist of the highest magnitude. His photography often resembles paintings. The photographs he takes of nature and earth dwellers are captivating! They show beauty in its simplest form, but if you look closer, you will see the intricate complexities of the heart’s eyes. His photographs dress up our eyes with earthly elegance; from mountains to fountains, from animals to modern marvels. “White mountain rainbow”, which he photographed in Hawaii, depicts a rainbow penetrating a concentrated puff of clouds with blue sky hovering just above it all thus reaching a crescendo of spectacular proportions.

Heinrich inspires us to want to preserve what beauty we have left, since the planet seems to be in a slow erosion process. His art transcends the bleak and the ordinary to reveal something we all live for: hope! He takes us on a journey of self discovery, since in art, we often see ourselves and our own yearnings for unmitigated beauty, our own yearnings for something more. Heinrich gives us that something more.

Debbie Priestly, one of the curators of the Out of the Blue Gallery and diva artist in her own right, was enthusiastic. “I like the spiritual and energy aspects of his art pieces. Since his opening he has already sold a dozen pieces, which range anywhere from $25.00 to $350.00.”

Heinrich received his first Nikon for graduation from Colorado State University back in 1998, just at the cusp of life when things began to happen for him. Since then, he’s experiencing the world for what it is and capturing his most salient experiences to share with his fellow beings. He combines music and photography to tell his story and essentially tell our stories as well. The two yields images of those souls who have made the most of what life has to offer. He shoots live improvisational performances all over the country, as well as locally. He sees Boston as the epicenter of jazz which emanates creative vibrations. He has spent the last three years documenting what he perceives as a cultural revolution as staff photographer and chief editor of Meniscus Magazine (meniscusmagazine.com).

Through film and digital photography, Heinrich captures the natural mystic energy that permeates all human experience. The essence of light, energy and earth reflect a philosophy, that the more you intentionally direct your life towards making the world a better place, the more beautiful it becomes. He believes that human revolution begins with the individual.
