Hi There!

I’m Heather O’Donnell, the artist behind Magnolia Heather Art.

In 2009, I moved from Wisconsin to Georgia to attend Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), and in 2013, I obtained a B.F.A in Fibers from SCAD. During my time in the Fibers program, I began embroidering on magnolia leaves. In 2016, as I was creatively lost, I decided to revisit the idea, but this time with a more extensive exploration. The intention was to embroider motifs that I could digitalize and use for pattern design. While I have done this, the leaves themselves started to attract the attention of many through social media, and commissions started coming in. January 1, 2017 Magnolia Heather became a new name on Instagram, and the rest is history!

Just kidding… but I have been selling online and at local art markets since 2017. My leaves have always been my one constant and have helped inspire me throughout my career path.
