Hello! I am an artist, designer, student, educator, activist, vegetarian, cooperative house member, friend to many, and recent long-distance bike rider. This website is a retrospective of my work from the past fifteen years with my most recent projects listed at the top. I am currently living in Champaign-Urbana where I am a graduate student in the School of Art and Design at University of Illinois. I am also connected with networks in Humboldt County, California and Detroit, Michigan. Please contact me at 707-845-0572 or by email at heather(at)heatherault(dot)org if you want to say hi. Thanks, and enjoy the website!

biography

Art has always central to my life, as a student at Grosse Pointe South High School and then at the College for Creative Studies in Michigan where I earned a BFA in Graphic Communications. My professional experience began during that time with a research position at William Beaumont Hospital where I created medical educational materials for teaching residents about fetal imaging. This groundbreaking work in education and multimedia lead me to join Butler Graphics in Troy, Michigan where I assisted corporate clients, the automotive industry, and the Detroit Institute of Arts in developing emerging digital media technologies.

Upon moving to San Francisco, I entered the non-profit sector as a fundraiser and organizer for women’s health and pro-choice organizations and was exposed to the world of activism. After a subsequent move to Arcata, California, I taught digital design courses and workshops for Humboldt State University, College of the Redwoods, and Eureka City Schools. During this seven-year period, I continued to work in collaboration with other community members on many important environmental, social, and economic projects and campaigns.

Recently, I relocated to the mid-West for a three-year Masters of Fine Arts program the University of Illinois. The Champaign-Urbana area will continue to be my home for two more years as I build a body of work that focuses on reproductive health history using research methods and new media technologies. I look forward to engaging with many audiences in galleries and art spaces, festivals, and other educational venues during my tenure as a graduate student and beyond.
