Born in Melbourne, now living in O’Connell, NSW, Heather has been practicing art all her life. Heather completed a Diploma of Tapestry in 2011. This course has been the catalyst for work in the textual mediums of woven tapestry, complex cloth collage and mixed media, supported by more traditional media.
Since 2014 Heather has been a Director of the T.arts Gallery Bathurst, NSW (tartsgallery.com). This is an artist run, not for profit initiative, which apart from giving her permanent exhibition space, has been a valuable source of support and collaborative inspiration in her art practice.
