Gallery — Eastwood Art & Interiors

Heather Eastwood

Founder & Creative Director

I’ve been designing rooms since I was a toddler. My grandmother built me a dollhouse with the samples and scraps from her own renovation, but instead of playing with the dolls, I unceremoniously shoved them into an unreachable corner and spent hours redesigning the space. Some days, I turned it into a sprawling mansion for a single artist and others into a subdivided apartment complex, using whatever I could find—old trinkets, treasures from thrift shops, and the little "art" I made for the walls. From the start, I was captivated by the power of a space to tell a story, to change the energy, to feel like home.

I grew up in beautiful, curated spaces—rooms rich with history, family heirlooms, and timeless design that rooted me in an appreciation for the truly elegant. But I was also drawn to the unexpected—the wild, the eccentric reuse, the elements that made a space entirely individual. My mother, who admired my creativity the way most moms dream of honor roll, let me draw on my walls, glue flowers and puzzle pieces wherever I pleased, and fill our home with oddities I found at art shows or along the roadside. When I left for college, she had a photo shoot of my room to capture the dreamworld I’d built knowing it was a snapshot of the inventiveness that would define my future.

Though I took a detour into litigation and a few other careers, I found my way back to the imaginative work I was always meant to do: designing spaces that are rooted in beauty, yet unafraid to tease tradition. After decades of designing for friends and family and taking endless courses in art and interior design, I launched Eastwood Art and Interiors with a focus on art advising, color consulting, and full-service interior design. I lean heavily on my Art History degree, my interrupted foray into graduate architecture school, my research and persona-adopting from my law career, and my cat-herding, ahem project management skills, from my years teaching. My approach blends the classic and the surprise to build spaces that feel personal and lived-in with just the right amount of the bohemian to make it unforgettable.
