Comet 30×48″

Artist Heather Millar says her work reflects “vintage ambiance steeped in nostalgia,” a style it’s easy to see in her contemporary, pop art. You may already have seen her best known work — on the hit TV series Suits, hanging in the office of Harvey Specter, the legal drama’s headstrong lawyer.

Actor Gabriel Macht playing Specter and Heather MIllar’s original “duck painting” (called “Listen Closely” see it here.)

If you want to see Harvey’s lighter side, look on his office walls, says Macht. “His artwork was chosen to show he has a whimsical side with a truly wicked sense of humor.” (The painting is a plot line on Suits, more at this link.)
