Heather was born and spent her childhood in the West Midlands. After attending Wolverhampton and Chelsea Schools of Art, she spent her early career as a successful textile designer based in London and also working as a part-time lecturer.
In the 1980's she gave up teaching to concentrate on interior and exhibition design, also illustrating several countryside and educational publications. She has been a professional fine art painter for over thirty years. Having led a fairly nomadic life, she finally settled in Scotland 15 years ago. She has had many successful exhibitions in Essex, Suffolk, Shropshire, Wales, Cumbria and more recently Scotland.
