The Artist
As a self-taught artist, Heather first discovered her gift for painting while convalescing on the beautiful island of Barbados. In watercolour Heather captured the warmth of the Caribbean, merging golden cane fields with red-hot sunsets, and turquoise seas. Her extremely intuitive art is an extension of her spiritual development and with a calm contemporary style, combined with gentle rhythmic fusion she explores feeling and emotion through the use of vibrant colours and textures, allowing the viewer to feel a connection and be drawn to the essence and mood of each piece.
“ Painting for me is a spiritual expression a way to calm and still the mind, my inspiration comes from the beauty that nature holds and from deep within”
Heather has exhibited widely and her paintings can be found in private collections in London, Barbados, Dubai, Italy and California, with a profound triptych commission soon to be exhibited, at Casa Albert Children’s Hospice, in Romania.
