HEATHER SPOONER
Heather Spooner is a multi-passionate lettering artist and pen pal enthusiast who shares her journey, projects, and inspirations through her Instagram. Her feed is a mix of vibrant hand-lettered pieces, personal reflections, and updates on her creative endeavors, such as her “Letter League” community (and documentary!) In her writing, Heather often explores topics like embracing change, overcoming unhealthy comparisons, and following passion projects. Prior to art, Heather was teaching fifth grade outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Her time as a teacher and artist were separated by a year living in New Zealand. The year was spent doing odd jobs with and for strangers with no money exchanged. A one way trip in search of joy after being burned out from public teaching, Heather found happiness in the simplest ways and continually seeks ways to share her joy with others.

“I am passionate about seeing the magic thats right in front of me and inspiring others to see and feel it too. EXPAND is a storytelling event featuring individuals who find fulfillment from the inside out, wherever they are. How they came to find the little things that make them come alive and how they continue to expand their being from right here,. Mindful, aware, present, grateful. Never arriving, always expanding.” - Chelsea Bay
