Heather Silva is a California-based artist whose work transforms canvas into a sanctuary of light, energy, and emotional resonance. Living on the Central Coast, she creates intuitive, layered paintings that embody freedom, beauty, and spirituality. Her process is both sacred and deeply personal—each piece begins with intention, infused with energy meant to be felt the moment someone enters the space. With a love for color, texture, and symbolic depth, Heather blends abstract, semi-abstract, and angelic elements into work that inspires, uplifts, and empowers.

Her path to becoming a professional artist was unexpected and profoundly healing. After years as a natural health practitioner and entrepreneur, Heather discovered her creative voice while processing childhood trauma through EFT tapping. What began as a personal breakthrough unfolded into a vibrant artistic practice rooted in freedom, transformation, and wellbeing. Influenced by artists such as Flora Bowley and Dimitra Milan, her paintings carry both expressive spontaneity and soulful depth—qualities that resonate with collectors who value not only aesthetics but also emotional and spiritual connection.

Today, Heather’s work can be found in bohemian, eclectic, coastal, and traditional interiors where it does more than adorn walls—it shifts energy, evokes peace, and creates harmony. Guided by her belief that art is a sacred act, she offers collectors a portal to beauty and freedom, and a reminder that the soul is limitless.

For years, I harbored a secret dream of becoming an artist, though I never believed it could be more than a fantasy. It wasn't until I embarked on a journey of self-healing with EFT tapping that this dream began to take shape. Initially, my focus was on resolving deep-seated childhood trauma, not art. I was unaware of how this transformative technique was clearing away limiting beliefs and energetic blocks.

The turning point came unexpectedly while assisting a friend with a trauma-informed assignment that involved drawing. I joked about my lack of drawing skills, saying, “I can’t even draw a stick figure, and my smiley faces look more scary than happy.” Yet, when I was asked to draw with both hands, something extraordinary happened. I was astonished to see a scene emerge on the page—a girl, a house, and more. The discovery was emotional; it connected to forgotten memories of my young self experimenting with vibrant colors and facing criticism.

This revelation led me to explore painting with newfound enthusiasm. I began with mandalas and soon took a class where I painted my first divine lady face. What started as a personal journey of healing and self-discovery has now evolved into a vibrant artistic practice. Today, I’m living the dream I once thought impossible.

Thank you for joining me on this creative journey!
