Heather was born in Southern California and her early life was shaped by constant animal companionship and frequent travel. A self-taught artist, she has always been passionate about interpreting the world through her lens, with a focus on natural environments and culture. Though Heather restlessly dabbles in a wide variety of mediums, her foundation is rooted in photography, with fiber art on the side as a foil to digital work. Her current project, ‘Matter of the Mind,’ uses macro photography of original art to personify human emotion through dynamic abstract forms and vivid colors. Heather has lived in seven states and three countries, but currently resides in Connecticut with her husband, a dog, a bunny, and two birds. When she’s not making art, she enjoys hiking, traveling, dancing, learning folklore, and making up dumb songs about her pets.
