Heather has loved art since childhood, and recently found her way back to doing what she really loves. She credits her beautiful Siberian Husky companion with inspiring her to choose animal subjects more often than anything else. The beauty and mysteriousness of a wolf’s face attract her; she loves to capture the cute expression on a dog’s face, or draw the intense eyes of big cats such as lions and tigers. With her love of facial detail, head portraits are a favourite, but she also enjoys portraying wild animals in nature settings.

A local zoo presents opportunities to study and choose potential subjects. She also takes inspirational trips to the beach, where she photographs the Blue Heron for future works.

Heather uses fine art pencils to draw sharp details or blend for painterly effects. She participated in the 2002 "From my Perspective" juried show for colored pencil artists and has plans for future shows.

One of Heather's main goals is to have her pet portraits and wildlife art bring joy to animal lovers for years to come.
