The Heather Sportsman Art Exhibit - The Black Heritage Gallery

Heather Sportsman is a native of Clinton, LA, and a gifted artist with a specialty in contemporary mixed media. After earning a BA in Art (with honors) from Southern University Agricultural & Mechanical College in Baton Rouge, Sportsman pursued a career in Art Education and moved to Houston, TX.

Sportsman taught elementary school art for eight years and high school art for three years until the COVID-19 pandemic. This would turn out to be a blessing as Heather’s love for art was awakened and led to the creation of drawings, paintings, and digital artwork. Then in March 2021, she established the H. Sportsman Art company!

This was a good decision because a few months later her outlook on life changed after living through a school shooting in October 2021. Sportsman's ideals about safety, mental health, and the public education system changed drastically. Trusting her loving Creator, Jehovah she took a leap of faith, and bet on herself.

Exactly, one year later the talented artist transitioned to a full-time artist in October 2022. So, please come out and support this amazing artist. The solo exhibition #LossFiles art by Heather Sportsman is on display at the Black Heritage Gallery (1001 Ryan Street) in Lake Charles inside the Historic City Hall.

Now through November 21, 2023, go see Heather Sportsman's jaw-droppingly accurate depictions of contemporary pieces that contain faces, figures, and objects in nature. Below is more info about her solo gallery.

Yes, I’m promoting in what’s considered the “11th hour” of my show but what God can do with that is not my business! The name of this drawing is “11th Hour” Sometimes we wait for things to blossom and it comes late, but it DOES come. Just be patient!
