Ramona Heise

Idyllwild, CA

Born in Pendleton Oregon in 1980 Ramona was introduced to the arts at a very young age eventually becoming an accomplished stained glass artist and master seamstress. As she began helping Charlie Favour with his work in 2003 it became immediately obvious to him that she was a gifted artist. Over the years, she has refined and expanded on the work they have done together to amalgamate it into something unique and entirely her own. She travels throughout each year handpicking the highest quality materials including many untraditional gemstones incorporated into her southwestern designs.
Since moving back to her childhood home in Idyllwild California, she has continued her education at the Arts Academy summer programs. She absolutely delights in these opportunities as it offers a new and insightful experience each time. Her craft is always evolving and expanding and touched by the instructors, inspiration and knowledge gained. Her work is not just something she does. She lives and breathes it; she has the true soul of an artist.
