The Heather Ford Studio
artist - tutorials - influencer - exhibitions

With many years experience as an established artist, Heather has become identified as an influencer for students and non-students alike. Her talks have taken her to schools, her being a schoolteacher for 25 years, seminars, launches, universities, business boardrooms and workplaces.
Her talks are authoritative passages of advice laced with humour and she would be interested to hear from you should you find this arm of her work of interest.
