Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Heather Bergerson (b. 1990) is a German-American multimedia artist whose practice explores humanistic concerns and personal agency. Working primarily in painting, printmaking, and large-scale collaborative projects, she investigates biological parallels between humans and other species across the botanical, fungal, and animal kingdoms. Her work reflects a deep engagement with sensory perception, resilience, and interspecies connectivity.

In 2019, Bergerson earned her Associate of Fine Arts from the University of New Mexico–Taos. Following a life-threatening car accident in 2020 that left her visually impaired, she began to perceive the world through new textures, perspectives, and possibilities. With support from the New Mexico Commission for the Blind, she completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honors and a minor in Arts Leadership and Business at the University of New Mexico in 2023. She has since pursued further training in arts entrepreneurship through NSITE and Wharton Online, founding initiatives that promote accessibility in the visual arts, including The Meandering Artisan LLC, Sticky Murals LLC, and The Alchemy Walls Collective. She is currently pursuing her Master of Fine Arts in Art Practices at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
