In her early twenties Heather created her own company WaterMark Designs Heather Ross Inc. & produced a poetic line of hand printed linens & accessories which sold in finer stores across Canada. In 1994 Heather moved to Paris, where she designed for a textile house. It was during this time she discovered her source for fabulous antique finds in the markets of France.

Upon her return in 1996, her eye as a photographer was noted by an art director. She began shooting professionally, bringing all of her creative talents together in the stories she began producing for lifestyle magazines. She is a regular contributor to House & Home & Western Living. In 2001 she opened the doors to Heather Ross [in house] an eclectic gallery/boutique which showcases her evocative design sense.In 2005 she returned to her love of painting. Heathers works are in numerous private and public collections including the Olympic Village. She continues to travel regularly on buying trips & assignments, always seeking out beauty along her way. Nature is her most profound inspiration. She loves to write, garden & cook & to search for treasures not just in the flea markets, but also along the shorelines & forest floors.
