About Heather
My work is in an impressionistic, automatic style using oil pigment sticks, (oil paint, linseed oil and waxes in stick form) which enable me to draw and paint. I use my hands, rags and scrapers to erase and build layers.
I received a Diploma in Art and Design at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta. My artwork is in collections throughout the United States and Canada, and is on the covers of over 20 books and publications. I’ve received a BC Arts Council award, won Best in Show at Sooke Fine Arts and the Winsor & Newton North American Artist’s Competition. My work is in the collections of the University of Victoria, Manitou Foundation, British Columbia’s Children’s Hospital as well as The Canada Council and British Columbia Art Banks.
