Heather is a visual artist who has a passion in painting, illustration, graphic design and photography.

"When working on any project, my mind and spirit transcend to somewhere else. I like to think that somewhere is my subconscious. I like to put pen, pencil or brush to the surface I'm working with and just see where it takes me. Layer by layer the piece transcends any expectation I may have begun with. That is the beauty and power of art."
