Welcome to my little 'about me.' So...about me. I'm Heather, and Audrey Eclectic is my little folk art business that began oh-so-innocently at my kitchen table in late 2007. I dubbed my art business "Audrey Eclectic" after my daughter, Audrey-- who continues to be the prettiest thing I ever made.
I started painting mixed media folk art as a lark--- perhaps in attempt to avoid doing laundry or dishes--- when I left my job as a newspaper writer/editor/photographer to stay home with my little gal, who was 8 months old at the time.Little by little, I started exploring the world of mixed media, getting involved in my local indie craft show scene, doing local gallery events and selling online. A few years later, I am proud to say that I have done both solo and group gallery shows, made amazing crafty and artsy friends, and sold my little paintings all over the world!
Audrey Eclectic continues to be an ever-evolving business as I myself evolve. It is driven by what inspires me--- such as my prairie home, my love of history, books, folk tales, ghost stories, nature, faith, family, and the beauty of the world.

I myself am a nature lover; an old timey girl; a book nerd; a sometimes flabbergasted mother; wife to one lovely bearded man; a prairie dweller; a folk art lover; and student of the past and present.
Thank you for coming to visit me, and know that I appreciate every time you come by my little corner of this artsy blogging world. Perhaps I'll see you at a craft show....do come and say hello! But if we are far-away friends, you are always welcome here and also at my little SHOP.
For any additional questions or information on commissions, do visit my website.
Til next time!~

What a nice introduction to you. HI!
Now, that you have that done your readers need an update on the BUNNIES, Audrey and maybe a picture of her in her latest red dress. I loved that one of her on your header.
I love your art work but I also enjoy reading about your life on the prairie. Hmmmm, Audrey on the Prairie? A new blog? lololsnort :)Bea
Lol, thanks Bea! I appreciate you and everyone who comes to hear me ramble ;)
The bunnies are doing great, well, great as they can in this heat. I've been giving them frozen water bottles to lay with.
They are still very good little friends and love each other. Still too young for babies though. I can't wait for baby bunnies!!!!
Heather, I always love learning more about you. And I love that you said Audrey is the best thing you ever created! So true! I've been telling my son Paul about your bunnies and he wants one desperately. Is talking to his dad about building a hutch. Think it would be a good project for next spring. Bless you and your beautiful work! It's really going places!
sweet! i just tweeted this on folk reveries :)
Very nice to get to know you a little better Heather. I love my postcards!! I have them framed in my bathroom as a collection and stare at them everyday(O:
So nice to learn more about you, thank you! I just love your style, I hope to own one of your beautiful paintings someday :) ~ Lauren
Love to learn about awesome you, Heather! You are brave to take charge of your creative self and start your business! I just love that.
What a lovely little intro to anyone who's lucky enough to come across a sweet girl like yourself. You're such a pleasant person, and I dig that. :-)
Lovely intro x
I like art of all kinds, and your paintings are beautiful. I have been following your blog for a couple of weeks now, and your posts always make me go, ooooh! so lovely!
Stop by and say hi sometime xxx
Heather, I accidentally deleted your email I think, so I'm replying here. Audrey is a beautiful name. Part of my curiosity for your name being that I am a fan of the irresistible Ms. Hepburn. I can't wait to get my bookmarks! What a treat!
So glad you started your business! I'm a huge gushing fan of your work! Lovely intro. Catherine
Very good, Heather--I like this :)
It's a beautiful introduction, Heather! Nice job! Theresa :)

Heather- It's so nice to hear about your corner of the world! Your work is beautiful, I would love to hear more about what made you decide to take the plunge into art full time? Was it scary? Also love hearing about the bunnies too...
