A native of the southeastern coast, Heather’s journey through the arts began along the beaches of Wilmington, where her love for nature first took root. Today, the coastal beauty of her childhood continues to inspire her work, with waves of color and texture seen in each piece she creates.

Heather has explored a wide range of art mediums through workshops and studio courses at Cape Fear Community College, where she honed her skills in acrylic, textiles, photography, and drawing. She also had the unique opportunity to give weaving demonstrations at a historic Wilmington site, sharing her passion for the craft. These experiences helped shape her distinctive style, though today, she primarily works with watercolor, pen, and acrylic, blending the natural world with a modern creative approach.
