About the Artist
Heather Matwe considers herself a multi-disciplined artist. Her work ranges from jewellery and metal work to painting, touching every thing in between.
Born and raised in Calgary, her upbringing has always been infused with nature and it’s minutia, a theme that reoccurs in all her work. After graduating from Alberta College of Art and Design’s Jewellery and Metals program in 2001, Heather and her husband cycled through Western Europe, experiencing the landscapes and cultures. Influenced by some of the great masters of art history and the environment around her she uses her artwork to invoke a sense of awe and beauty to the viewer or in some cases the wearer.
Particularly fascinating to Heather is the idea of preserving the beauty of the natural world in the metal that forms her pieces. Her jewellery and metal work has been exhibited and sold in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
Currently residing in Vancouver, Heather enjoys searching the coastal landscape for her next muse.
