Heather Grace is a painter, designer, and illustrator based in Madison, Wisconsin. Her paintings are meant to help fill homes with joy and character, and each one is crafted with a special person in mind: that imaginary someone who might fall in love with the painting. As an illustrator, Heather enjoys creating custom stationery and brand assets. As a designer, she enjoys print design, web design, and interior decorating projects.
Outside of her studio, Heather is probably planning a party with friends, teaching art classes for kiddos, reading a book, or playing fetch with her Border Collie, Pepper.
Heather grew up in south Florida and received her B.A. in studio art and art history from Princeton University in 2018. She has lived and worked in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Wisconsin.
