Meet this week’s top Realism Today Ambassador, Heather (Thomas) Olson.
Heather grew up in the Midwest, and has a background in Horticulture and Floral Design. “For the past couple of years I’ve been a stay-at-home mom and artist, and daily painter,” she said. “My artwork reflects my education in plants as well as portraits and surrealism.”
