Happily shedding her gray federal office cubicle, Heather's soul has come alive again with the joys of creating colorful, observant, and inspiring still lifes of "small but portentous objects with electric colors like toys, souvenirs, and heirlooms." She deftly employs "a very unique form of realism born of a craving for intense color and the slow, meditative practice of truly seeing [her] diminutive subjects." She currently resides in Navarre, Florida.
Heather has made me see a different side of the still life. I have not been a very avid fan of them in general, until I saw her Etsy shop, Heather McCaw Art. I love her colors, translucent objects, and came across her very touching story about the feelings behind her works. Here is her painting that really speaks to me.

About this one she says, "This is one of a series of paintings I did featuring Heisey glass collector's figurines handed down to me from my grandmother along with other personal objects. In these, I am seeking to really push the definition and possibilities of still-life painting to provide a mood and a narrative. "
