Heather Evans
When asked about her art, Heather says, “I love collecting anything porcelain. I mostly have animals, owls, skunks, rabbits, dogs and cats (of course) but my crown jewel is my Burt Reynolds porcelain head, still unpainted, I'm too nervous. I do a lot of crafts; I don't own a single item of jewelry that I didn't make myself. Mostly bead work, but I've been known to dabble a little in macaroni. I have 4 cats: Wiggles, Lou-Lou, Greg and Liza Minnelli. thought Liza was a girl when I got her but she got Lou-Lou pregnant, so now I have six half tabby half calico kittens and a boy cat that only answers to Liza. I am an IOWA (Inanimate Object Wrestling Association) county champion three years straight. My first year I completely disemboweled a stapler, year two was a close one when a pair of mittens almost suffocated me, and this past years gave me seven little black dot tattoos when a Bic pen put up quite a fight.”
