Heather Moseley

Heather Moseley was born in Wombourne, a village in South Staffordshire, in 1966. She showed a keen interest in art from an early age and was popular with her school friends doing pastel portraits of popular celebrities.

She obtained a BA honours degree in Illustration from the University of Wolverhampton in 1990. She then worked for a London agency specialising in realistic figurative work for book covers and magazines throughout both the UK and abroad.

Unfortunately, a health setback meant Heather had to re-evaluate her career; this resulted in providing local gift shops with personalised children’s canvases and detailed wildlife paintings on slate.

Heather is the youngest niece of Austin Moseley who was a successful artist for many years. His work was notable for its depiction of Black Country scenes painted with palette knives. Following his death in 2013, Heather was asked if she would like to complete some of his work. This was a very moving experience and gave Heather much pleasure, as Austin always took a great interest in her career in art. Having completed this work, Heather decided to emulate this technique and style in developing her own work.
