HEATHER
Abstract Artist
Fort Worth native, Heather Essian is an abstract artist known for her beautiful color palettes that are full of movement and bold brush strokes. She's been an artist all of her life and has found her favorite medium to be painting. She is passionate about creating art with meaning and works closely with her collectors to accomplish this. You can find her painting in her tiny sun porch studio in the historic home that she shares with her husband, Jim and their three young daughters.
As a self-taught artist specializing in abstract painting, plaster art, and textile and wallpaper design, I've found my true calling in creating meaningful, inspiring pieces for the home. My journey into the world of art began unexpectedly, born from a need for a creative outlet while raising two babies under two. With a background as a professional photographer for 10 years prior to abstract painting, I've always had an eye for beauty and composition.
Now, with 8 years of professional artistry under my belt, I've expanded my creative horizons. In 2022, I proudly launched my own line of hand-painted wallpapers and textiles, bringing my unique vision to interior spaces in new and exciting ways.
My work is deeply influenced by nature, my faith, and eclectic interiors. I have a particular fondness for antique and vintage furniture, which often informs the character of my pieces. As a mother of three daughters and having been married for 20 years, I understand the importance of creating a home that reflects one's personality and values.
My passion lies in creating art with meaning - pieces that remind us of favorite memories, monumental moments, beloved songs, cherished poems, or meaningful Bible verses. I believe that the art in our homes should do more than just fill space; it should tell our stories, uplift our spirits, and create an environment of beauty and significance. The art in our home’s should act as conversational pieces.
Based in Fort Worth, Texas, I'm thrilled to own a brick-and-mortar studio gallery on West Vickery Boulevard. This space serves as both a showcase for my work and a hub for creativity and inspiration. Open to the public and the trade, I find joy in tailoring artwork and textiles to fit perfectly into any space.
Whether you're looking for a statement piece for your living room, a custom wallpaper design, or a meaningful commissioned work, I'm here to bring your vision to life with color, texture, and heart. We also offer custom pillows, window coverings, and bedding for the home.
