	Before launching her career in music, Heather began as a visual artist, studying Fine Arts at the University of Regina. After graduating in 1969, she began a life long love affair with oil paint and, although touring kept her from her easel, she has returned to her wonderland of colours. A published author, her first book, "my face is a map of my time here", is a hardcover edition of her artwork. Heather’s most recent recording is entitled "The Montreal Sessions".
