Meet “Sensoria”…Colors for All the Senses
I’m so excited about finishing Sensoria! This is a fabric mosaic stretched on a 24″ wooden canvas. I’ve always loved doing quilted mosaics but this one is different in that it does not have stitching.
This piece has a collection of 35 fabrics curated by me that consists of batiks, hand-dyes, hand-painted, screen-printed, solid Kona cottons and digital fabrics made by me. The binding is a rich, deep navy blue mottled hand-dyed. It brings great depth to the edging on the piece and really creates a floating kaleidoscope of colors.

Studio Happenings
Studio Renovations
I spent the first quarter of 2021 renovating my studio and storage spaces. Up ’til now, my studio has been more of a creative space. For a long time, I’ve been yearning for a “creative” office feel that would suit my future creative endeavors.

Heath Art Image Catalog
Having an online image catalog has been a long time dream of mine. I’ve been working on archiving all of my art images. The image catalog will consist of copyrighted images from my paintings, textiles (quilts), surface designs and photography collections. More to come on this endeavor…
Sharing what I’ve learned…
I’ve been a creative for all of my life. Sharing my journey allows me to help others and help myself at the same time. At this time, I want to share the tenets of my studio practice. Most of these tenets are the result of years and years of practice. Throughout the year, I’ll explain more about these tenets and how they have influenced my work and life.
