Artist's Statement, 'If You Only Walk Long Enough' - 'Portals,' Winter Show & Silent Auction, 2011:

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don’t much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn’t matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"--so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you’re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."
(Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6)

Heather has worked as an environmental educator, technical writer & illustrator, web developer, glass blower, and arts administrator. The creative aspects of these jobs -- writing, designing, making -- is the common thread and source of enjoyment.
In recent years, a passion for gardening and creating with fiber has filled Heather's free time -- this love of natural materials and organic shapes inspired her 'Portals' piece.
