Heather Sleightholm

Visual Art – Tulsa

My name is Heather Sleightholm and I am a folk artist living in northeastern Oklahoma. I create unique portraits in acrylic paint that are inspired by history, folk lore, literature and the beautiful landscape of my home state as well as far off lands. I am a fifth generation Oklahoman and have lived here my whole life. I graduated from Oklahoma State University and worked as a jewelry designer and newspaper writer before turning my full attention to my true love, painting. I started my folk art business, Audrey Eclectic, in 2007 and since then I have done many local and regional shows, had group and solo gallery events, and gotten to know so many other wonderful artists and art lovers from across the state in the process. I love to make art that tells a story, captures a mood, or particular era in time. Currently I live outside of Tulsa, Ok. with my husband, daughter, and a sundry of animals.
