Heather Grant

Originally from Toronto, Heather was attracted by the beautiful birds and flowers of her childhood home in the Kawarthas. They were the inspiration to become a painter.

Heather is an award winning artist of many media, including traditional rug hooking, watercolour, pastel, pen and ink, oil and wood carving. However, she says she finds watercolours the most challenging. "There is a softness that no other medium has," she says.

She has taken painting instruction from a number of artists including Edwin Matthews, Gordon MacKenzie, Mary Lampman and Al Poolman as well as wildlife wood carving from Bruce Leper.

Heather is a member of the Buckhorn Artists' Group and the Kawartha Rug Hooking Guild.

Her paintings are on display in many local venues including the Selwyn Restaurant in Selwyn, St. Matthew's-St. Aidan Anglican Church in Buckhorn, and Harbourne-by-the-Lake Antique Shop in Lakefield.
