Heather Marmura (aka the Winter Painter) has been painting all her life.  Her favorite mediums are watercolour, oils, collage, assemblage and printmaking. She loves playing with shapes and colours and her paintings are inspired by the places around her—often Maritime and New England landscapes. She is interested in exploring how one’s identity is informed by place. She has taken courses at NSCAD, OCAD and the Haliburton School of Art and Design. She has also taught in various media.

She has been a part of several projects: Healing the Land Healing Ourselves, The Healing Power of Nature, Catch Wind of It, Ancient Forest Lullaby.
