STATEMENT

A 1994 graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Heather has returned home to Chester County, Pennsylvania and is working towards establishing herself among the many talented artists who inspired her to pursue a career in the arts. She paints primarily in acrylics and continues to find colorful inspiration among the beautiful landscapes of Pennsylvania, coastal Maine and beyond. She was chosen to be the 1999 Holiday Card Artist for the local chapter of The American Cancer Society and the 2000 & 2003 Devon Horse Show and Country Fair poster artist. Heather is also the artist in residence for Chester County Town and Country Living magazine. Her paintings hang in numerous private and corporate collections.
