“Most of my inspiration comes from my love for the sea, nature, popular surf breaks, and the beauty of the islands.” – H.Brown

Growing up in a family of artists and artisans in Southern California, Heather Brown found her passions in both art and nature at a very early age. Later, working as a boat captain and dive master to put herself through the Bachelors of Fine Arts program at The University of Hawaiʻi gave Heather Brown the perfect vantage point to fill her head with the beautiful imagery of the Hawaiian Islands. Heather Brown honed her artistic skills as a student at the University focusing primarily on the “lost arts” of intaglio printmaking, silkscreen printing, linocuts, woodcuts, and etchings which explains where her iconic style was born and bred.

Heather Brown has made it her life’s work to capture the true essence of the most beautiful beaches, surf breaks, and locales in Hawaiʻi and around the world. She has been coined the “Godmother of Modern Surf Art” by the Los Angeles Times. Heather Brown’s art has become a benchmark in the global surf art market, finding its way into collector’s homes around the world.

Throughout Heather Brown’s career she’s been named “Best Artist In Hawaiʻi” for four consecutive years, and chosen as Rip Curl’s “Artist of the Search” for the past five years now garnering her own clothing line “Heather Brown for Rip Curl.” She has created art for The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, Jack Johnson’s Kōkua Festival, The Surfrider Foundation and many more as well as opening up Heather Brown Galleries in Tokyo, and Osaka Japan. She continues to work with numerous non-profits around the world, always keeping “giving back” extremely close to her heart.

“I have always only had one goal in mind when creating art since I was very young and it has never changed, I just want to make art that brings smiles to peoples faces and aloha to their hearts. ” – H.Brown

Heather Brown’s art can be seen in galleries around the world, as well as in some of the most elite private collections of fellow artists, musicians, professional athletes, Hollywood’s finest, and happy homes in every corner of the globe.  All pieces are painted and printed in paradise, on the North Shore of Oahu!
