Summary: <a href="http://fountainsofcarrots.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/episodethirteen.jpg"></a><br> As we’re both fans of her art, we thought it would be fun to talk with Heather Sleightholm, the artist behind <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/audreyeclectic" target="_blank">Audrey Eclectic Folk Art</a>.<br> In our conversation we talk about how Heather finds inspiration for her original work, her love of literature, New England, and Scandinavia, how she finds time as a mom to pursue her art, how she feels about running a business, how religious art is created, as well as her own faith and family.<br>  <br> It was a wonderful chat and so interesting to learn about the artist behind the art – we hope you enjoy it!<br> Books we mentioned:<br> <br> <br> <br> *  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0689822847/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0689822847&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=fountainsofcarrots-20&amp;linkId=WA3VUCMXM3XKQ4E2">Hitty Her First Hundred Years</a><br> * <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143120123/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0143120123&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=fountainsofcarrots-20&amp;linkId=KF5EWIALCXMH7MEQ">Away Off Shore: Nantucket Island and Its People, 1602-1890</a><br> * <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0061624772/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0061624772&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=fountainsofcarrots-20&amp;linkId=F24N5II4GPVQB5ME">The Lace Reader</a> and author <a href="http://www.brunoniabarry.com/">Brunonia Barry</a>.<br> <br> <br> <br> To purchase Heather’s work please visit her Etsy shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/audreyeclectic?ref=em" target="_blank">Audrey Eclectic Folk Art</a>.
