Art is food. Literally - not just for the soul. With a flourishing career as the owner of Black Radish Chef, Heather has turned her focus to creating beauty and nourishment through canvas and paint.

Art is a feeling. It is a sensation that starts in the stomach…a fluttering of excitement, built up and interpreted by the unspoken energy that flows through each of us, then translated into form.

Art is our connection to all things. It is an expression of simple elegance in the creation process. That energy which germinates a seed, cultivating it as it blossoms into a delicate flower. Effortlessly, without hesitation or debate, it simply IS the ZEN of our expression.

Art is thriving. It is the unrelenting ability to rebuild ourselves, refreshed and undaunted, each time we stare at a blank canvas. To commit to the process, as we walk away changed each time we bring our ideas into fruition, leaving some of our old selves behind and forging anew.

Art is passion. Art is Life. Art is Flourishing.
