Heather’s love of watercolors, acrylics and ink has evolved from a childhood full of artistic exploration. Surrounded by a creative family and encouraging educators throughout her early years, she always turned to sketchbooks, paints and pens to fulfill her creative curiosity.

With a degree in Graphic Communications from Clemson University, Heather put aside her love of fine art to explore the technical world of printing and communications. With multiple relocations for work and a growing family, she maintained a career in the printing industry and customer service. It wasn’t until the downtime of 2020 that Heather once again found her focus for drawing, painting and even surface design, which she continues to showcase on multiple products.

Heather launched her full-time business, Heather Barger Art, in 2023. She is a member of the Crooked Creek Art League and is an official Community Connect licensee in connection with the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC). Born and raised in Greenville, Heather now resides in the midlands of South Carolina. From the waters of Lake Murray to the marshes of the low country, South Carolina’s beauty continues to be Heather’s main source of inspiration.
