Statement
Heather grew up and studied on the west coast of
Scotland. She is a contemporary Mixed Media artist working mainly
with Acrylics and has a studio in Shipston-on-Stour in Warwickshire.
The inspiration for her paintings comes from her
Scottish roots and her fascination with the marks which nature and
man have sculpted into the landscapes and seashores at home and in
her travels abroad.
Her emerging style tends towards heavily textured
Acrylics, using a limited palette with semi-abstract shapes and
vibrant colour, trying to balance the emotional and thoughtful
response to what she sees and feels.
Career Path
Heather graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of
Music and Drama. She next qualified as a teacher and became
interested in Theatre in Education and Theatre for Youth, working
with Newcastle University Theatre Company, Dundee Repertory Theatre
and the renowned Glasgow Citizen’s Theatre Company. She worked in
Edinburgh with Scottish Television and appeared in the Edinburgh
Fringe Festival with Billy Connolly in ‘The Great Northern Welly
Boot Show’.
After 20 years teaching English in Warwickshire,
Heather retired and devotes her time to her real passion in life
which is painting.
