A capsule covers and protects. What does it hold? A mystery, a treasure?
Inspired by the ancient landscape, particularly by the fossils found in her home in the Kansas Flint Hills, Heather’s intensely carved, textured, and colored woodturned work reflects her curiosity and reverence for the living, breathing world. Heather holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in art education and has experience teaching art at all levels across several states and abroad, with the transformative experience of motherhood inspiring her to make art professionally. She believes aesthetic experience is normal and necessary to the human condition and in her practice she searches for sense of self and sense of place, drawing on interests in deep ecology and mythology, combining familiar forms, textures, and colors to bridge the gap between the worldly and other-worldly.
