Originally from British Columbia, Heather has always been inspired by the vast beauty of nature and it’s profound effect on emotion and the value it has on self reflection.

With this in mind she’s spent the majority of her life exploring new places and finding the joy in experiencing things from different points of view.


This mindset, as well as inspiration from fashion, music, and comics, has had a heavy influence on her stylization over the years; and reflects in her art as she’s continually experimenting with different forms of media and techniques that adapt with her.

View of rolling green hills and trees through a wooden frame window. View of dark sky and mountains and the top. Large moon with face in upper right hand corner. Large pink and purple flower twisting through the frame and into the foreground. Two small nude elves hang from a wooden swing dangling from the frame below. Flowers and leaves detailed along the sides of the frame. Small nude elf in a red hat rides a brown mouse among the grass and flowers at the front left. Waterfall and pond at the front bottom of painting. Three red headed nude elves play here and grabbing up at small bits of glowing light. One is kneeling, one standing, and one is sat on a wooden stump. The one standing holds onto a magic mushroom. The one sitting on the stump has a petal from the pink and purple flower draped across her lap.

My name is Heather Flinsky. I enjoy making art n stuff ! Constantly trying new mediums and figuring out what I want to do next.

When told about the theme for this exhibit, how did you begin the creative process?


My creative process starting when I found an interesting shaped piece of particle board in the communal recycling area of my workplace. The shape immediately bought the concept of a window into an ethereal world and everything sparked from there.

Tell us your magic item.

My magic item is a little on the nose. I picked a magic mushroom because it suits the theme of nature and how to blossoms a connection to self discovery and playfulness to the world around you. “Opens a window” so to speak, into another world that you might not have discovered otherwise.

Who or what influences do you look to for inspiration?

For this piece specifically, I found inspiration from old fantasy and sci fi novel covers and designs by Alphonse Mucha.

In general, I find inspiration from everything around me. I’m lucky to be surrounded by creative and talented friends and to have lived in beautiful places and always find myself in a state of awe for the little details of nature and life and structural design.

If you were a flavour of ice cream, what would it be and why?

Mint Chocolate , because it’s my favourite and makes me think of being a little kid.
