Unmasked: Expressions in Flux
This unfolding series explores the many faces we wear — both seen and unseen.
Each square portrait is an emotional study, built from expressive color, layered script, and textured collage.
These faces emerge one by one — revealing raw edges of joy, sorrow, wonder, and knowing.

i’m heather, an artist & storyteller.
The paintings I create come from a quiet place—rooted in presence, shaped by my own becoming.
They’re made to meet you in whatever season you’re in.
Joy. Grief. Wonder. Becoming.
All of it belongs.

“…I really do look at Heather as an angel that was put in my life, to help me find my inner essence, to bring me home to myself, coax the invisible to become visible. She hears the whispers of my soul and spirit deep within me. She listens not only with her ears but through her spirit and soul…Heather has helped me come home to myself. To be open to new possibilities, new ways of experiencing life and myself.”

Commission a painting that
tells your story
Not just another piece of art.
I create custom paintings in attuned partnership—pieces that reflect your truth, hold your becoming, and anchor your space with meaning.
Each one is what I call a Sacred StoryScape™:
an intuitive, expressive painting created just for you.
Let’s begin the conversation.
More than decoration.
a declaration of who you are
an energetic anchor,
to ground your space in truth.

“Heather's art draws you into the spirit and essence of the subject. In her "Toymaker," I can feel his creative energy and focused concentration in such a way that he is a wonderful muse to accompany my own creative work. At the same time, I feel as though I could step into his room and engage with him in stimulating conversation. I view her "Mary Magdalene," "Mary of Bethlehem," and "Divine Woman" together, with each exuding the depths of powerful personality. It is as though one can find the fullness of the human condition in the gaze of each of them.”

Stories from the space between.
Personal essays, mythic reflections, and glimpses into my creative life.
A living journal of art, becoming, and truth-telling.
“During our time together, Heather created the space and the process for me to explore, in a creative way, the values that are most important to me now....There was freedom in these revelations; an awareness as to why everything I’d been doing was seemingly so hard, so unfulfilling. Her questions to me illuminated some buried treasures about things getting in my way, beliefs holding me back and helped me see that what brought my success in the past will not bring me what I yearn for going forward. ”
