Heather Cooper (Canada) Born in Canada (1945), Ms Cooper is committed to the imaginative expression of ideas and has a passion for things well done. According to Ms Cooper, "the greatest works are never properly rewarded and likely never will be because, in order to achieve that greatness the artist leaps beyond the commercial boundaries, and applies talent and imagination that far exceed everyone's original expectations. Only by giving from the heart in this way will an artist summon the inspiration, ideas and insight that kindle the finest work".
