Heather engages with abstraction as a form of mindfulness practice. Her meditative approach sets the stage for discovery, play, and surprise. As she works, she gives herself permission to adjust and repurpose pieces as they take shapeó often tearing previous drawings to pieces to give them new life in the form of textured collage. Her process allows for creative shifts. Heather finds that the connections between a completed work and the percolating thoughts that influenced its evolution can only be made in hindsight. She is inspired by nostalgia and her reference material helps her draw connections between memories or points of emotional resonance that influence her work.
