Painting commercially since 1985, Heather has sold her paintings throughout Australia and overseas. Heather is influenced by the natural environment and has a particular passion for Australian wildlife. Her choice of mixed media includes watercolor, gouache, inks, acrylics and pastels. The pictures are lively and vibrant. Largely the painting style has evolved through self experimentation.
Heather believes life experiences and personal experiences influence the way in which you see things, and since living at Maleny, she has found paradise in her own back yard, living on the family dairy with husband David and two children.
In recent years, Heather has worked closely with Maleny author and publisher, Jill Morris. This involved the illustration of five of Jill’s stories. Heather is constantly updating her knowledge through personal and professional development by attending various workshops such as Art Therapy and the McGregor Schools. She also has experience in tutoring adults in children’s book illustration and various painting techniques and mediums. For more about Heather Click here
Heather has always been amused by her friends in the animal kingdom, having grown up in the bush of South West Queensland where she had lots of pets. Many of these are featured in her Animals with Attitude Series, recently launched at Peace of Green Artists Gallery, Maleny, where Heather is a permanent member. They are quirky, illustrative images full of life and character.

Heather has moved into some abstract and contemporary image making, often inspired by words, poetry and music. This approach to painting is both challenging and liberating.
Working in collaboration with Jill Morris (author) Heather paints the Australian wildlife stories where the animals are not "humanised" but carefully studied to endeavour to educate children about their true behaviours in entertaining images.
