Memorable Quotes

• “If you’re somebody who wants to be more creative, then maybe you want to work with orange because orange is uplifting and inspiring and helps you connect to your creativity.”

• “We were made to create, and whatever way feels good to you—whether writing, sewing, painting, or whatever creative outlet you have—is intended to help calm the body down.”

• “We can use art to express ourselves and to get out emotions that we didn’t even know were there.”

BIO:

Heather Eck is a multimedia abstract artist and writer. An intuitive artist and painter, Heather interprets people, places, and experiences through color, a condition known as synesthesia. Like an enormous box of crayons, her gift operates by categorizing through intricate but specific shades of color. While this condition enables her to experience color, she responds to these encounters with people, things, emotions, and spaces by understanding the particular shade of experience that a person dwells in.

She uses her gift to detect the most healing color for them to remedy their wounds. Guided by the chakra system and inspired by spirituality and the mysteries of the universe, Heather transforms these vibrant energies into captivating paintings that uplift, inspire, and ultimately heal.

Each canvas becomes a symphony of color and emotion, a visual representation of the unseen

connections that weave through our lives. Heather’s work is more than art; it’s a medium of healing, a testament to the profound influence of color on our well-being.
