"We were already fans of Heather’s art and thrilled when she agreed to create a custom piece inspired by our trip to Chania, Greece.

With our photographs as her foundation, Heather infused detailed research into her design, resulting in a remarkable work of art that resonates with anyone familiar with the port area of Chania. She thoughtfully considered size, angles, and perspective, ensuring the artwork harmoniously complements our staircase. Heather truly brought our vision to life. ‘Chania’ is a stunning, personal piece that sparks conversation and evokes cherished, time-kept memories."

"The installation was executed with precision, successfully adhering to both the designated timeline and the approved budget, demonstrating her commitment to excellence."

“Heather's pieces have made tremendous statements in our office space.

The media Heather uses to capture sculptures of our projects has become a part of our environment at our Geostructural engineering boutique consultancy. We enjoy seeing her artworks bring our industry to life, telling stories through her work. Her pieces help sell our company to our visitors! Thank you!"

“Heather’s magnificent creation captured not only the physicality of the Castle, but also the total essence of the bonds of friendship created there that have endured time.

It was not only a gift to our friend and brother who loves it, it was a gift to all of us who gave it to him."

“Your art captivates me completely.

From my perspective as a woodworker, I also realize that I experience life and understand the world in ways beyond just construction. A house, a streetscape, a garden, a piece of music, the sound of rain as I drift off to sleep—these experiences dissolve my self-consciousness. They allow me to forget a certain part of myself, to stop introspecting, and to engage with the world around me. Your work does just that; it draws me in and invites me to connect with it without judgment. When I look at your work, I find myself saying, ‘This is beautiful. I love this.’ “

“I asked Heather to create a memory for me; she agreed, and I was thrilled.

It was a trip to Italy when my sister celebrated 7 years cancer-free. We rented a villa in the hills outside Lucca, a medieval walled city. As we drove down, we passed a row of homes, one owned by an elderly woman who washed her sidewalk each morning. My sister and I waved to her, and she always waved back. One afternoon, we paused to take a picture, capturing that special moment. The sculpture Heather created now hangs on my wall, reminding me of our journey. When my sister sees it, all the beautiful memories of our Italian adventure come flooding back.”

“When I approached Heather to create a commissioned piece for me to donate to a charity, she attentively listened to my vision and asked numerous questions to understand what I truly wanted to create.

This artwork was especially meaningful as it celebrated the 100th birthday of Canadian Tire and aimed to raise funds for the JumpStart Charity. Not only did Heather beautifully translate my vision into a stunning piece of art, she also guided me comfortably through the entire process. She coordinated with outside resources and went above and beyond to ensure the historical details of the commission were accurate. It was a pleasure working with Heather, and I hope we can collaborate again in the future.”

“Heather expertly captured the essence and detail of a historical building that is integral to Toronto's architectural landscape.

Viewers are consistently amazed by the innovation of her work, and I commend Heather’s professionalism and artistic talent.”

— Dan Brambilla, former CEO, The Sony Centre for the Performing Arts

“This piece feels to me like an opportunity — an invitation to be curious and adventuresome.

From where I stand, I can see into the city's density, where buildings of various shapes and sizes suggest different eras and possibly even earlier settlements. I see a dynamic patchwork of built environments. This assemblage brings to mind my experiences in cities in England, such as Manchester, Leeds, and York, which have such historic heritage. I love this artwork and find it very evocative.”

“I have always admired Heather’s work, so when our daughter announced she was moving back to Toronto from France, I knew I had the perfect idea for a gift to commemorate their time abroad.

They lived overlooking a charming square in the countryside near Lyon, so on our last visit we took plenty of photos to capture the view. I approached Heather with the project and she had the brilliant idea of creating a corner piece to better depict the actual square. It is a bit stressful commissioning a work of art, but Heather took us through the process and produced drawings that allowed us to visualize the finished artwork. We were thrilled with the result. She totally captured the essence of Place de la Chapelle. The amount of detail she was able to create is amazing and the piece changes with the light; it is a delight to have in the room and constantly admired by visitors. My daughter was thrilled with the piece!”

— Barbara and Phil C.
