Heather Lewis was born in The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, she earned her BFA and MFA in Painting and Drawing at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design at the University of Dundee, Scotland. She lives in Asheville in the USA.

Heather's work has been shown in Museums and galleries internationally, including The Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh, Scotland; The Affordable Art Fair, London; Hickory Art Museum, Hickory, NC; The Visual Art Center of New Jersey, Summit, NJ; and Hunter College/Times Square Gallery, New York, NY.

Her current work explores both lights at night (in paint), and stenciled fabrics (bleach art). She says that lights in the dark, shadows, and stencils are all about simplifying shapes, recording absence, and looking at things a different way.
