ART & YOGA
create fROM your soul
After being laid off from a corporate management position in 2012, artist and instructor Heather L. Pastor returned to what truly nourished her soul— creating art. Largely self-taught and inspired by The Artist’s Way, Heather rediscovered her creative purpose and began exploring the many ways art can inspire, connect, and transform us.
Since then, Heather has shared her passion for creativity with students of all ages through art classes, private lessons, workshops, and painting parties. Her mission is to help others discover their own create voice, express themselves freely, and learn to tell their stories on canvas while developing a unique artistic style.
In 2025, Heather expanded her creative offerings by completing her 200-hour yoga teacher training. She hopes to blend the mindfulness practices of yoga in her art courses, designing deeper, more meaningful creative experiences for her students.
Today, Heather offers fun, engaging art classes throughout Volusia County, including New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, DeLand, and Edgewater. Classes explore a variety of mediums, including drawing, painting, mixed media, glass painting, and more. Whether you’re a beginning artist or simply looking for a fun way to explore your creativity, Heather’s classes provide an encouraging environment to experiment and discover your artistic story.
There is something electric about bringing artistic elements together. It awakens the mind, enlivens the spirit and reminds us, as human beings, why we were created – it was with the purpose of making the world beautiful through artful expression.
