Heather Allard works in the ancient art of paper quilling. Quilling is a type of ornamental craftwork involving the shaping of paper, fabric, or glass into delicate pleats or folds.

Allard is mostly self taught in this meditative art form, having learned the art form while recovering from an unexpected illness. She continues to grow and push the art forms traditional limits creating beautiful displays of colorful quilled paper. Allard lives in Whitelaw, WI, and works among the bees and maple trees along with her husband and family at their honey and maple syrup farm.
