Art has always been an integral part of Heather Crowley’s life, even though she has no formal fine art training. Heather grew up surrounded by easels and paint brushes while her mother taught numerous art classes out of her childhood home. Trained as a physician, she chose pathology as a specialty after being drawn to the beautiful world she experienced under the microscope’s lens. To deal with the stress of her career Heather turned to yoga and daily meditation. Unexpectedly, these methods of self-exploration led her to realize she needed to make more time and space in her life to explore her creative path. So in 2009, she left her pathology practice of six years for a part time position with another group in order to do just that.
