Heather Goff

Heather Goff was born on Martha’s Vineyard in 1964. She started painting pottery with Vineyard landscapes in 1980. Her art education has taken her from Cleveland to Tuscany, Paris to Manhattan, with a love of music and languages mixed in with glaze chemistry, painting and printmaking. She is best known for her linoleum cuts and for her ceramic tiles, “Folk Tiles”.
She was married to Andrew Moore of Harthaven, and together they raised three children.
