Heather’s work explores the complexity of her relationship with the physical body, skin, and the cloth that covers it while expressing cultural concepts of gender, domesticity, and craft. By cultivating a sensitivity to materials and an attentiveness to narrative, she manipulates hand-dyed textiles, creating meaning through sculpted layers, openings and folds. Heather’s visual art has been exhibited at the Connector Gallery of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, The Wiregrass Museum of Art, The Georgine Clark Alabama Artists Gallery, and The Charles W. and Norma C. Carroll Gallery. In addition to shows in Alabama, she has participated in festivals and exhibitions in Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, South Carolina,Louisiana, and Missouri. Heather also has over 25 years of design and production experience in stage, television, and film, her credits including The Cherry Lane Theatre, The Theater Outlet, The Santa Fe Opera, The Los Angeles Opera, Fantasy Playhouse Children’s Theatre, Pennsylvania Stage Company, The Huntsville Symphony Orchestra, University of Alabama Huntsville, Main State Music Theatre, Center Theatre Group, Carsey-Warner Productions and Comedy Central. Heather holds a BFA in Costume Design from The University of North Carolina School of the Arts and an MFA in Visual Art from Lesley University College of Art+Design.
