Heather was born in Bournemouth in 1934; after four years as a painter and graphic artist, she was awarded a travelling scholarship to Italy, where she studied Florentine and Renaissance painting. In 1959 Heather submitted work to the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers and was accepted as an associate member in 1960 and elected to full membership in 1962. After several years as a technical and display artist in the industry, Heather expanded her range of commissions and, in 1990, began the collection of English watercolour scenes we know today. Her unique gift captures their charm and atmosphere in memorable detail. Heather is sadly no longer with us, though prints of her artwork are kindly offered in collaboration with the heir of her estate.
