Heather Beck Designs

Heather Beck is an Artisan in fine metals and woodworking. She is a 2006 graduate of The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Her BFA is in Artisanry with a concentration in Jewelry/ Metals. Heather has been an artist for her entire existence and will try any medium once. Her work is usually vessel based and contain messages and symbols with close personal meaning. Dreams for her are a constant inspiration and window to the subconscious. While interacting with her work, she wants the viewer to connect in a spiritual or profound way. She likes to see the beauty in the world and present it with heavy sacred overtones. Much of the imagery and inspiration for her work is derived from combining nature and sacred geometry.
Her work references gothic cathedrals, 18th century alchemical texts, magic, and the pureness of beings such as honey bees and cicadas. Heather's love for insects lead her to become a beekeeper in 2006. Many of her sculptures/brooches are directly related and formed to replicate or view actual insects.
