Statement

designer, printmaker and painter

•

My work is anchored by a fascination with patterning,

memory and motif with the hope of giving pictorial form

to what is often elusive.

The influence of both the natural and built environment

on sense and perception is the source for my visual work.

Projects are conceptualized as parts of a series,

where an original theme or image provides the basis

for an iterative, ongoing process of production and editing.

I experiment with different materials and printmaking techniques,

working with the inherent qualities of both

to hopefully produce rich, dynamic and evocative imagery.

heather studied painting as an undergraduate receiving her BFA from Boston University School for the Arts, and completed her MFA from the University of Oregon’s School of Art + Design.

She has spent many years designing textiles and architectural graphics, as well as teaching design and color theory, all of which have informed and inspired her studio projects. Cross-pollination between these areas fuel a continuous exploration of visual expression)
