Heather Rupert

I am immersed in a rich field that allows me to be in harmony with my creative spirit and flourish as a textile artist under the most diverse circumstances. I am a lover of colour, texture and find great pleasure in creating beauty for myself and others.

I feel fortunate to always be working with different creative teams, materials, concepts, time lines and aesthetics. I am constantly challenged and rewarded!

I continually look forward to collaborating with my colleagues at the Dye Dept. and with the individuals and the clients who seek our participation and services!
