About Us

Heather Taylor has been a commissioned artist for 15 years, creating art for public and private viewing. She has specialized in mural work for medical offices as well as schools, public libraries, state organizations, museums, and city spaces.

Heather works in acrylic for her murals, using watercolor, pen, gold and silver leaf, graphite, pastel, mosaic and collage as required in her public and private work. There are examples of the different mediums and their relative effects on the website.

Commissioned work is collaborative by nature. Please initiate the process and see what beauty unfolds.
