Art by Heather Sterling-Minder is dedicated to the uplifting and healing of the soul through visual art. Born from childhood memories and the continued inspiration of nature, fairytales, spirituality and love, Heather’s art is a physical manifestation of the thoughts and visions that have been her perpetual refuge. With this purpose in mind, creating becomes simple, as nature and the beauty of humanity guide Heather’s work, which is then presented to others in the hope that it will offer the same comforting influence.
Heather’s oil paintings most often depict friends or family members in dreamlike, imagined surroundings, while her graphite and pastel drawings incorporate real flowers that she collects and presses herself, then assembles into ornate crowns and lairs of nature spirits. Pulling from a knowledge of beadwork, her repertoire also includes delicate beaded earrings and shell sun-catchers, evoking a spirit of water beings and mermaids.
Heather’s passion for creating is also brought to others through classes and workshops periodically offered in her studio, for the purpose of sharing traditional drawing and painting techniques as well as gathering with community in an artistic space.
You can find Art by Heather Sterling-Minder at Saturday Market and Flux Crystals in downtown Eugene, in addition to other art markets and festivals within Oregon. Be sure to follow Heather on Instagram and sign up for her newsletter for updates!
