In Heather's own words the creative process unfolds:

I like ambivalence of form. I hope I remember how to paint. Sometimes I wish I’d forgotten everything.
The last sentence is a lie, but sounded so good. Sneakiness is a part of painting, sneaking looks into the unseen. It would be nicer if that were true, too, but it isn’t completely. The images push their way into felt sense, as compelling as music brings forth dance. Colors present themselves for choice, series of hues enter into contest with each other. Grey supports. White may make clear an otherworldly event takes place as does dark. Surprise is an element, if mystery is a surprise. People wear their animal forms, moons light above women’s heads, nestled in their hair that looks more feather or flower petal than hair. Cat and kitten, rabbit and fox, man and woman hold each other hostage, hold each other dear, tempt fate. The variety of rhythms within the brushwork makes clear the painter studied and performed as a dancer, before taking up with brush and palette knife. One could correctly assume she always has a story to tell.
