Heather Harp is a multidisciplinary artist and founder of Wide Tide Designs, a women-owned creative studio rooted in Missoula, Montana. Known for her vibrant felt wall hangings, evocative piano compositions, and community-centered approach to public art murals, she explores how color and texture foster emotional connection and transformation. After an early career in finance, Harp returned to her lifelong passion for making, building a practice that blends storytelling, craftsmanship, and empowerment. Her work bridges fine art and functional design, often in collaboration with her two daughters, and reflects her belief that creativity can spark meaningful change in people and spaces.
