Heather Edwards

Heather's paintings are the product of decades of observation of people, of environments, of animals and of textiles, as well as the convergence of every scrap of knowledge that came attached to them. The wonder and magic of Disney movies, both the imagery and the music, also helped cultivate the ideas that began to take form in her painting. Heather says that now boldly recreating Disney characters in a way that brings them into the realism of our world has become an exciting new passion.

Shared and collected around the world, Heather Edwards's paintings are constructed in the midst of a bustling family with five children in Las Vegas, Nevada. And although that poses a multitude of challenges of its own, her art has gone on to get the attention of USA Today and the LA Times, as well as to receive recognition and awards from respected organizations such as Art Renewal Center, Artist's Magazine, and Spectrum, among others.

To Heather, every painting is personal, but not necessarily in the way most might think. "I don't necessarily want the viewer to have the same response to my painting as I have. Instead, my hope is that the expression I paint on the board through hours of observation and execution of detail will speak to them in a way that ignites thoughts and feelings unique to them."
