Arts & Culture: Heather Doram
Heather Doram, one of Antigua & Barbuda’s most iconic artists, has spent decades pushing the boundaries of creative expression. Her work seamlessly blends tradition and innovation, celebrating black femininity, Caribbean heritage, and the limitless possibilities of art. Known for her vibrant use of colour and thought-provoking themes, Heather’s influence extends far beyond the canvas, touching everything from fashion and education to public projects and film. In 2024, a year unofficially dubbed “The Year of Heather Doram,” she continued to redefine the artistic landscape with projects that inspire and uplift. One standout initiative was her collaboration with Renée Edwards of Lady Horsepower Farm to transform her art into a striking car wrap for Antigua & Barbuda Art Week. Beyond its visual appeal, the car is being used in workshops to teach women practical automotive skills, demonstrating the far-reaching impact of Heather’s work. Adding to her remarkable year, the launch of her website, heatherdoramart.com, a curated platform showcasing her creations, from paintings and prints to fashion and home décor, allows art lovers worldwide to bring her vision into their everyday lives.
