Heather Johnson Beary is an award-winning sculptor from Prescott, Arizona. She was raised in rural Central Florida where she explored the cypress swamps and palmetto forests finding a sense of wonder and peace in the natural world. Heather started creating notable works of art at a young age, selling her first drawing at 13. Upon earning her BA from the University of Toledo she moved to Prescott, Arizona and fell in love with all things Southwest, from the flora and fauna to the Native American and pioneer influences of the people inhabiting the region. Her work is inspired by the rugged freedom and abundant nature this wild country still provides.

Along with creating smaller works for private homes, Heather has been commissioned by Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the Salvation Army, the City of Prescott, the United States Federal Government, and the Prime Minister of Bahrain to create public, monumental bronze sculptures. She was fortunate to have her work selected to grace both Zion National Park and Escalante National Monument in Utah. Her work is in collections all over the United States as well as Canada, Australia, England, France, Scotland, Bahrain, Singapore, Jakarta, and the British Virgin Islands.
