She also won the prestigious Doug Moran National portrait prize in 2014 and has been the winner of  several other art prizes.  She is well known for her enigmatic and, at times, eerie portrayal of people and landscapes.

She has had 12 solos shows and has been involved in many more group exhibitions.

In this interview Hearman talks about how, even as a small child, her drawings contained elements of the work she would later create.  She also explains why her works are predominantly untitled and what she initially intended to enter into the 2014 Doug Moran prize.  She also tells why she likes working on masonite and what it is she calls ‘bungle bungles’ (and when to retire them).
