about heather leaves
I have had the pleasure of being an artist and 'artist at rest' for the last few decades but have recently
come to the point where I would like to create more and share it with others on a larger scale. In the
last several months I have been able to dedicate more time to nurturing my talents and as it turns
out, myself as well in tandem.
I chose the name 'heather leaves' for my site for a number of reasons. Naturally, being named after a
flower, incorporating the word 'leaves' into my site was not a far stretch. And since this site is an
exhibition of my folio, I was reminded that a folio is inherently made up of an assemblage of leaves.
But a deeper meaning began articulating itself quietly in my mind beyond the obvious semantics. A
Heather flower can't bloom without her nutritious and nurturing leaves. As such, I too can only
bloom when fully accepting all the varied parts of myself - leaves and stem and all.
