About Heather
“Heather M. Fry is a learning designer, artist, and creative consultant who brings color and structure together to make ideas come alive. With a background that blends instructional design, visual arts, and small business ownership, she’s built a career centered on creativity, connection, and lifelong learning.”
Heather’s professional work spans eLearning design, instructor-led training, and creative consulting for organizations that value imagination and clarity in equal measure. Her approach combines curiosity, empathy, and an eye for visual storytelling — crafting learning experiences that are both engaging and effective.
As an artist, Heather works primarily in mixed media and collage, exploring color, nostalgia, and the joy found in everyday moments. Her art is vibrant and playful, often layered with texture and meaning but always grounded in fun.
In 2024, she opened The Artist’s Hoard, a cozy, colorful corner of creativity in Shelbyville, Tennessee. The space serves as both an art supply shop and community studio — a place where artists of all levels can learn, experiment, and share their work. She also co-organizes the Bedford Arts Collective, a group that hosts local art exhibits, crawls, and creative events that bring the community together through shared creativity.
Across all her work, Heather’s goal is simple: to help people feel welcome, inspired, and confident in their own creative potential.
