This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
Heather VanWinkle has been drawing and painting for most of her life, thanks to the ever-ongoing craft projects of her mother and encouragement from her teachers.
Heather studied art throughout high school and after her Junior year she was accepted into the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute where she studied drawing and sculpture with sculptor John Ahearn as well as sculptor Luiz Jimenez. OSAI was also where she created her first faerie portrait, inspired by the dancers at the institute and Degas’ famous sculpture, "14 year old dancer."
Since then, Heather has earned an Associates Degree in Humanities and a Bachelors Degree in Liberal Studies. She has also tested in the freestyle levels of figure skating, and became interested in skating art by doing illustrations for the now defunct skating ezine, “Intensity on Ice.”
Her preferred mediums are watercolor, graphite, and mixed media that includes ink or colored pencil detail. She has done decorative painting, illustration, and logo design for businesses in the US and Canada. Currently she resides in Oklahoma with her husband where she is still refining her style and exploring new ways to approach her art.
