While living in Germany, Heather had the opportunity to travel to Italy, France, Belgium and many times to Boleslaweic, Poland to collect the Polish pottery.    While she lived in Germany she began setting up Polish pottery still lifes and painting them.  This turned into a series of her award winning Polish Pottery Still Life Series.  Heather recently finished number 65 in the series with many more to come. 

Polish pottery is hand-painted in Poland and it's unique beauty makes for a great subject in any still life.    The unifying blue in the pottery pulls it together and makes for a wonderful subject in setting up still lifes.  These still lifes are not boring but very energized.  

In the sink still lifes you can feel the movement of the water through the painting.   The Polish pottery paintings stand out and are not a typical 'still life'.  There is much more life in this series.    While the Polish Pottery still life series is her signature series, Heather also enjoys painting pet portraits and trying new things such as, portraits, landscapes, florals and abstracts.    

Internationally collected, her paintings are held in private collections in Germany, England, Canada, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic and throughout the U.S.

Enjoy!
