Bio
Lynn Intrater
I had the pleasure to work with Heather at the Epsten Gallery beginning in June 2013. I interacted with her first as a board member and then as President of the organization. Heather has a unique skill in bringing together a variety of concepts and finding a common theme to engage and inspire. I saw it time and time again where she brought together artists and community to share in dynamic exhibitions and programming at the Epsten Gallery. She can articulate her ideas and vision beautifully and has honed the art of collaboration which is paramount in getting things done in today's world. Whether it is engaging partnerships or reaching out to donors/members, Heather uses her excellent communication skills to make connections and build relationships. She is hard working, passionate and truly committed to making an organization the best it can be. Lynn Intrater
