My name is Heather, I have o ften contemplated changing it to Feather, but I don’t because I like that my initials are HA on my paintings. I paint loosely, inspired by my photographs. My favorite subjects are tropical flowers, papayas, cute houses, and the beach. I find color inspiration in vintage photographs and stacks of old Pyrex bowls. I enjoy the process of creating abstraction within realism. I lean toward bold strokes and colors that leave space for imagination and play.
I grew up in the PNW and now split my time in between Tacoma, Washington and Kaneohe on Oahu. I enjoy spending time with my husband Jon Almeda who is a ceramic artist and our giant tuxedo cat named Friend. I have a studio in both locations and I try my best to paint everyday.
