Hi! I'm Heather, an artist, art teacher, mom and grandmother known as "JOY." I live in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina, where the coast, history and natural beauty inspire much of my artwork. I believe art is for everyone it doesn't have to be perfect it simply needs to come from the heart, whether through painting, drawing, sculpting or any other creative outlet, I hope to encourage both children and adults to discover the joy, peace, and healing that creativity can bring. My mission is to inspire others to create in whatever way feels meaningful and therapeutic to them. If my work helps someone find a moment of happiness confidence or connection, then I've accomplished exactly what I set out to do. Thank you for visiting and being a part of my creative journey!
