The Artist: Heather Braun is the Founder and Creative Director at Porchlight Press based in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She has been playing with paper and drawn to colour and texture for as long as she can remember. Born and raised on the West Coast, her inspiration comes from the the local flora and fauna, and the natural colour palettes and textures of the outdoors. Heather worked professionally as a landscape architect and graphic designer for several years, but after being given a small letterpress machine by a friend, her entrepreneurial spirit bubbled up. Finding a printing press in a barn in Napa Valley to an auction in Baltimore, she gathered her tools of the trade, each having a unique story and link to the rich history of letterpress printing. Slowly but surely, over eight years, she has built a bustling studio both printing on antique presses for others commercially as well as creating and hand printing a stationery line she is very proud of.
