Heather finds her inspiration in showing the soul of any person, by her devotion to perfection in studying the human face and detailed realism. She has always loved and studied every aspect or art, but portraiture was a natural gift she has always had. Heather prefers an un-posed environment that accurately portrays the character of the sitter. She also enjoys painting her subject in everyday casual clothing, believing that even jeans and a polo shirt can be as beautifully portrayed and formal attire. Heathers portraits are as unique as her subjects, there is no mold. Every piece exhibits her character and personality, and like each paintings detailed setting, her distinctive style facilitates the expression of each subjects unique nature. Gathering influence from nearly all realms of realism, with the works of the old masters as well as the new, Heather's works are in collections everywhere.
