Her highly textured, richly hued work has found critical and commercial acclaim, and can be found in private and corporate collections throughout New Zealand and overseas. Her love of bold colour and texture is a distinctive trademark of her work.

Before starting her career as an artist in the 1990's Heather held professional positions in the food industry having graduated from Otago University with a double degree in food science and human nutrition. The influence of food still comes through strongly in many of her works.

Drawing inspiration from all aspects of life, Heather's contemporary artworks also explore aspects of New Zealand's iconic scenery in particular the Hawke's Bay, Wellington and the Far North.

Heather exhibits regularly at Ora Gallery in Wellington, The Gallery at Helena Bay Hill in Northland and the Wine Country Gallery in the Hawkes Bay. She also exhibited at Emerge Gallery for 5 years before it closed down in February 2008. Over recent years she has held many successful exhibitions demonstrating the growing demand for her work.

In December 2007 Heather moved from her studio/gallery in the seaside suburb of Petone, to her studio in Taradale, Napier. Heather will be on the Art Trail for tourists and any interested locals in 2009.

If you have any questions about Heather's work or would like to discuss a commission, Heather would love to hear from you or see you at her new studio in Napier.
