Heather Hernon’s artistic journey began in childhood, drawing with her dad. After earning a BFA from Plymouth State University, she spent over 20 years as a fashion designer in NYC, working for brands like Gap and Tommy Hilfiger. During this time, she maintained her personal art practice, often drawing in bed. Returning to New Hampshire in 2020, Heather transitioned to teaching art at Phillips Exeter Academy and the Portsmouth Music and Art Center. Now, she works in her studio at the Button Factory in Portsmouth, continuing her love for drawing, block printing, and painting.
