  Myron Heise, as a child, expressed his talent for art through cartoons. At age four, with the encouragement of his older brother, he caricatured the people around him and then drew the animals and countryside near his family farm in Nebraska. In his teens he continued his study of art by taking correspondence courses. He then went on to the University of Omaha where he majored in art. In his twenties he traveled to New York where he first became interested in

city scapes and atmospheric night scenes.

In New York, at the Art Students League, he painted in the class of Robert Brackman. Later visited Europe to live and work in Florence Italy. When he returned to the States he was filled with a determination to understand and paint the essence of New York. Here Myron worked at his painting constantly. Drawing mastery, however, came to him "more rhythmical" through his many colorful studies of musicians in Jazz bars. Myron found a studio on Forsyth street where he has lived and worked for the last forty years. In order to support himself Myron drove a taxi which connected him to the energy of surging humanity. Myron worked for 11 years at a News Stand. This News Stand, later on, became a subject for one of his most well known and important works.

In New York Myron discovered subjects of unending complexity. Here he connected with a group of fellow artists called "The Street Painters". This friendly alliance of extremely talented professionals believed in expressing their feelings for subject matter with the paint itself. Because of this exchange of ideas with other artists, and because of the early loss of his brother at age 26, New York became his most important vehicle for his portrayal of the human condition. Myron is represented in many private collections including that of Warren Buffet. He is also represented in the public collections of 10 museums.
