BIOGRAPHY: HEATHER HOOPER
I was born in St. Catharines, and moved to Toronto when I was 13. After
receiving a diploma from Ryerson, I came to Windsor to teach at Patterson C.
I. It was here that I met and married my husband, Barry. Later, I returned to
University of Windsor and received my degree in Social Science.
We have 3 children, of whom I am most
proud--Jeff, a professor at Acadia University in Nova Scotia; Steven, a high
school teacher at Bluevale Secondary in Waterloo; and Jaye, a lawyer with
Williams McEnery and Davis in Ottawa. I have 8 grandchildren, ranging in age
from 1 to 15.
I have always had an interest in art After
taking courses in Interior Design , and Fashion Merchandising and Design, I
became more and more interested in learning about painting and drawing. So,
after retiring from my career as a high school
teacher, I had time to pursue my longtime desire. I began by taking classes in
acrylics and then expanded my interests to watercolour and ink. I enjoy working
with all three mediums. Thanks to the encouragement of family and friends, I
continue to attend classes and workshops to learn more, improve and refine these
skills.
