Heather Freitas

Heather Freitas discovered her signature style during a time of profound sickness and isolation. For much of her life, she battled a mysterious illness that continued to worsen. Doctors dismissed her symptoms as anxiety—over and over—until she began to question her own reality.

One day, staring at a blank canvas, she made a quiet but powerful vow: I’m going to heal myself with my art. From that moment, she began creating straight from the heart—layered, raw, and vibrant. That intuitive process became the signature style she’s known for today.

When healing herself felt out of reach, Heather became deeply committed to helping others heal—through connection, humor, inspiration, and the quiet embrace of her work.

In the end, her art did heal her. It gave her purpose, a way to provide for herself, and the strength to leave traditional work behind. In 2019, she became a full-time artist.

Heather was eventually diagnosed with Celiac Disease, MCAS, and POTS. While these conditions are chronic and incurable, she shows up every day with a mission: to bring healing to the world, one piece of art at a time.
