About

Heather isn’t your typical contemporary artist. She’s visionary, yes. But one whose work dances at the edge of art and energy. For nearly three decades, Heather has explored how color, intuition, and healing intertwine. And so, her paintings don’t just hang as aesthetic pieces. Rather, they hold a space. On your wall. In your mind. And over your energy.
After all, they are designed to awaken, inspire, and create emotional resonance. According to Heather, each piece represents higher states of mind and emits a high frequency. That creates a gentle nudge toward the truest version of oneself, echoing her years as a hands-on Healing Arts Practitioner.
So, how does she craft such pieces? Her process engages the shadow self, a concept from Jungian psychology. The repressed, the uncomfortable, the deeply human. But, with a fusion of energy and higher consciousness. It’s in that rawness that her art finds its power. Through bold brushwork and intuitive storytelling, she invites viewers to explore themselves, heal, and dive into ideas that can change their outlook on life.
From VOGUE UK to Contemporary Art Curator Magazine’s Voices of Tomorrow Award, this approach has Heather McFarlin recognized across the art world. Her most recent show at SAVAGE Gallery in Palm Springs  and being the featured artist at the Mill Valley Artwalk  solidify her place as a boundary-pushing artist.

Kind Words

“One of the top contemporary artists to watch in 2024.” – Contemporary Art Curator Magazine

Contemporary Art Curator Magazine

This art has that 'wow' factor. The one that makes one pause, take a deep breath and get excited about the Universe once again.

Tyler, collector

Your artwork caught my eye because of its unique blend of style and emotion. It’s now proudly adorning a giant wall, inspiring creativity and innovation.  It has hung prominently in three homes!

My recommendation of Heather's art comes with my recommendation of her as an artistic light that creates color, motion and suggestion of form allowing the viewer to immerse a part of themselves into the experience.

David Moore, Founder, Zero Nine Design

Unbelievably soulful art! I'm fortunate enough to have a piece of Heather's in my massage clinic and our clients are instantly intrigued by it. The color composition and ability to transport the onlooker is amazing!

Tobi Lessem, Owner, Bodywise Massage Inc, San Rafael

Your artwork has an energy that is simultaneously vibrant and calming, and has a resonance that fits with my sensibilities, all things I want in my home. Your art also sparks inspiration and expansion, inviting me to open up to my own creativity, in whatever form that may be. I would be missing out if I didn't have that spark front and center.

We met at Start Up Art last Sunday. I just wanted to thank you for the awesome discussion we had about subjectivity and the craft of creating art when one is not thinking but instead being a conduit in a stream of consciousness. Moments like that make my commute and experience worth it. I hope to see you again at more trade shows in the future.
