ARTIST BIO
I was born on the border between the United States and Canada in Newport, Vermont. I am an interdisciplinary artist whose body of work includes acrylic painting, digital photography, analog collage, written word and performance. In 2009 I received a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies with focuses on: Borderland Theory and Spirituality in Artistic Process and Creation from Goddard College. I went on to expand my studies with focuses on: The Medicine of Art, Artist as Keeper of Ancestry and Lineage, Artist as Vessel, and Borderland Theory and Expression in Artistic Process. I received an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Goddard College in 2012. My paintings, photography and collage works have been exhibited in both group and solo exhibitions and my work has been commissioned for public murals and private collections. ARTIST STATEMENT
I approach the creation of art as an ongoing dialogue with the source of my existence. Through this conversation I strive to actualize myself as a conscious co-creator within my personal reality and in the shared collective experience of life. The images that result are whispers from the place where the veils between worlds are thin. This is a place and space that I consider hallowed ground. As I have matured my work has expanded to embrace and include a lighter and more whimsical expression. This is especially true in my works of analog collage. Opening myself to this ongoing exploration and allowing it to lead me in new directions has been a core experience and focus of my work since 2020. CONSULTING EXPERIENCE
I have over 25 years of experience in organizational development and executive management with a variety of individuals, nonprofit organizations and creative institutions. In addition, 7 of those years involved acting as a creative consultant who specialized in revamping organizational structures, increasing available funding, the application of creative marketing and strategic planning. Heather’s leadership philosophy centers on assisting each individual and/or team member in recognizing their passion, purpose and unique vision and applying those inner fires to boldly ignite their drive to accomplish their artistic and business aspirations. |
