I’m going to start sharing a little more of the everyday things around here. What I’m wearing, daily drawings, small studio edits, bits of life from inside my studio. When the world feels loud or uninspiring, I don’t let it squish me. Getting dressed becomes a small act of resistance. A reminder that I still get to choose beauty, texture, color, and intention. I studied fashion, and adornment has always mattered to me. Not as performance, but as energy. This feels connected to my studio practice and the way I move through the day. More of this. We’ll see where it goes ✨ #StudioEdit #StudioLife #WhatIWoreToday #CreativeRoutine #QuietResistance #AdornmentAsPractice #ArtistStudio #FashionAndArt #EverydayRituals #WomenWhoCreate #RaleighArtist #RaleighCreatives #RaleighNC #NorthCarolinaArtist #DowntownRaleigh

Something new is taking shape. I’m getting ready to launch Heather Jennings Lifestyle. A new home for my work that brings together my art, commercial design practice, writing, and the ways I weave wellness into the spaces and moments that hold us. It’s being built slowly and intentionally, and my hope is that it becomes a place you return to for inspiration, grounding, and creative connection as the season unfolds. More soon 🤍 #HeatherJenningsLifestyle #WebsiteComingSoon #CreativeStudio #ArtistLife #designandwellness

December can be full and demanding, so I return to small rituals that help me stay centered. A few minutes of breathwork, warm tea, gentle stretches, and quiet moments with my sketchbook. These practices soften the pace and bring focus back to the body. My favorite tea is @harveytea Hot Cinnamon Spice. For journals and pens I like @jerrysartarama #HeatherJenningsLifestyle #WinterWellness #MindfulRituals #CreativeWellness #SeasonalCare #HolisticLiving #ArtistLifestyle #BreathworkPractice #SlowSeason #MindBodyConnection #CreativeRituals #SeasonalBalance #ArtAndWellness #SelfCareSeason #MindfulDecember

✨ Raleigh friends! I’ll be at @dressraleigh T O D A Y till 5, with a fresh collection of handmade ornaments and original fashion illustrations. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and pulled straight from my studio — a mix of color, texture, and a little holiday magic. Come say hi, browse, shop, touch, feel… all the good things. ✨ #HeatherJenningsLifestyle #RaleighArtist #FashionIllustration #HolidayPopUp #ShopLocalRaleigh #HandmadeOrnaments #ArtStudioMagic #RaleighEvents #DressRaleigh #FashionArt #HolidayAesthetic

Green always finds its way back to me. I love me some pinks and neutrals, but somehow I end up right here again. In this grounded, punchy, life-giving green. Maybe it’s the Taurus in me. Green is our color — the color of steady growth, grounding grass, the earth, the reminder to breathe and root down. And in a treatment room or a waiting room like this, it brings this calm-but-confident energy that patients feel instantly. Soft enough to soothe, bold enough to wake up the space. Happy Friday, friends. Wrapping up the week with what may just be my signature shade. 💚 Photos: @catnguyenphoto & @liznemethphoto #HeatherJenningsLifestyle #HealingSpaces #CommercialDesign #DentalDesign #GreenInteriors #ColorTherapy #TaurusEnergy #EarthSignAesthetic #BiophilicDesign #TraumaInformedDesign #WellnessDesign #StudioLife #DesignInspo #CreativeProcess #FridayFeels #EndOfWeekVibes

We all numb in different ways. Social media, busyness, the little distractions that pull us just far enough away from ourselves. But the more we numb, the less connected we feel to our own empathy and to the people around us. Rituals bring us back. Community brings us back. Being in our bodies brings us back. This is where attention turns into presence, and presence turns into power.

Creating spaces where women feel safe, supported, and fully seen - especially in a world that hasn’t always protected us- is the whole point. Wellness isn’t just pretty interiors… it’s reclaiming comfort, dignity, and agency. A lot of systems have failed women over the years. So we build our own. Spaces that honor us. Spaces that don’t look away. Spaces that say: you’re safe here. It’s the reason I’m so committed to designing spaces that actually protect the nervous system. 📸 @studioaray #HeatherJenningsLifestyle #TraumaInformedDesign #WellnessDesign #CreativeWellness #ArtistLifestyle #HolisticLiving #SeasonalInspiration #DesignForWellbeing #IntentionalSpaces #KindnessMatters #HealingDesign #ArtAndWellness #SeasonalReflections

Kindness can live in the spaces we create. It’s in the light that softens a room, the textures that comfort the senses, the way a home holds us. Today is World Kindness Day, and I’m honoring the small choices that make spaces feel safe and whole.

There’s something special about capturing a moment as it happens. Live drawings are personal keepsakes that turn gatherings into something unforgettable. If you’re planning a holiday party or winter celebration, I’d love to bring this art form to your event.

Remember when Instagram was just a place to look at beautiful photos? This is one of those. Three perfectly framed pictures. Three guest chairs. A quiet little waiting room moment designed to make people feel safe and seen. 📸 Photography by @liznemethphoto #HeatherJenningsLifestyle #HealingSpaces #DesignForWellness #BlackwellAndJennings #InteriorDesign #CalmSpaces #DesignThatHeals #LizNemethPhotography
