She teaches in the Museum Management and Curatorship program at Sir Sandford Fleming College in Peterborough, Ontario.
Heather was the instigator of and guest curator of my Transient States sculpture show at the Art Gallery of Northumberland. I am grateful for her encouragement and for her guest curatorial essay which appeared in the catalogue -- and which is reproduced here with her and the AGN's permission.
