I'm Heather, an artist and educator based in Woodland Hills, California. I've spent my career teaching, working in general and special education, social and emotional learning, and doing art.  And now, I'm continuing to see the amazing connections between art and mental health.  I hold a BA in psychology with a minor in art history, an MA in special education, and a certificate in Social Emotional Arts through the Arts and Healing Initiative. All of that is what is behind Soulfill!

​

Soulfill grew from the belief that art is part of a healthy, meaningful life. Research increasingly points to active art-making as deeply connected to wellbeing, learning, empathy, and psychological resilience. Just like we prioritize nutrition, sleep, and movement, we should prioritize making things.  I see its benefits in my own daily life, and I love sharing that with others.

​

I create handmade pieces and thoughtful, creative resources meant to bring a little warmth and beauty into everyday life.  A mug, a small charm, a gentle prompt: small things that remind us to notice what's around us, and be present.

​

My hope is that Soulfill offers small moments of comfort and inspiration, and gently reminds you to do what fills your soul.
