Heather grew up in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania and graduated from Marple Newtown High School with honors and an art scholarship. She went on to attend Rhode Island School of Design and earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting. Post graduation, she worked in the building trades and owned her own contracting firm for many years leaving a trail of murals, sculptures, and mosaics in homes throughout Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties. She currently resides in Chester County.
In June of 2013, after a moving experience at a Jamie Wyeth opening, she made the decision to give up her former career in order to paint full time. She proceeded to win First Place in the prestigious 2013 Brandywine Valley Plein Air competition in 2013. In April of 2014 she was awarded best of show at the Chester County Art Association Invitational Exhibition. This provided her first solo show, which was extremely successful. Again she won the Artist's Choice award at the 2014 Brandywine valley Plein air held at the Winterthur in October each year.
