This is the original piece Heather painted for advertising for her business. It was inspired by Mucha in the Art Nouveau style. Her husband's portrait is in both top corners. The figure was taken by a Mucha painting, but the face is her own. The cherry blossoms represent asia for her mixed race marriage (her husband is Filipino), and the celtic knots surrounding her head reference her Irish ancestry. She still uses it for her business cards to this day.
