"I must be dreaming" 48 x 36 Acrylic and Mixed Media on Birch PanelHeather Shirin is a mixed media artist living in Asheville, NC.

 “Each piece is original and handmade with love”

Her work is only available in Asheville and created all by hand. 

Heather’s Fine Arts degree is in oil painting with a concentration in illustration. She teaches mixed media here in Asheville, in the River Arts District. Heather is inspired by the natural beauty where her studio is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Most of her collage works use fine art papers, gold leaf, sheet music, vintage ephemera, jewelry beads, buttons, old letters, and acrylic paint. Layer after layer, her mixed media paintings become wonderfully unique and full of emotion and beauty. Each piece of art is dated, and hand signed by the artist.

The wood panels offer stained and polyurethane sides, which will last a lifetime and travel safely home. Each painting will never warp, and does not require an additional frame. These orginal pieces make wonderful gifts or souvenirs of your trip to Asheville, NC.
