Who?

Meet the artist

Heather Climer is a Snoqualmie based artist. Where she thrives in exploring  saturated colors and heavy textures to create truly one of a kind art, she maintains adaptability with her approach, learning and expanding her body of work as she goes. She picked up painting in 2010, and has since evolved her creative expression to include photography, wire wrapping, sculpture, and bohemian style jewelry. She started Obscure Nonspecifics in 2023 to share her love of creating with the world. She believes that everyone is creative in their own ways; that art is a conduit to help us connect, fostering self-reflection and empathy not only with ourselves, but with each other. This journey of connection often reveals the beauty in our own authentic selves, including our perceived flaws. In her free time, she enjoys singing, playing the drums, piano, and guitar, dancing, hiking, and camping with her partner and two children.

Artist Statement:

Art has always been a bit of a science experiment for me. Each piece is a discovery. I find the lines, the “shoulds” of a practice, then step outside of them. It is intimidating, yet liberating at the same time. I am never 100% certain of what will happen, all I know is something is coming to life. My practice has always lived in free-form inspiration. The result of a question answered by courage to find out what happens if I try. My lines are not perfect, but in my opinion, art is not meant to be “perfect”, it is meant to be honest, raw, and real. Through this process, my goal is to create work that inspires others to embrace imperfections and find beauty in the unexpected.
