14 Sep 24 Decided to turn this place into a digital garden for all my non-art stuff, and my art will continue to live on HeatherFranzen.com. Revamped a bunch of stuff (homepage, navigation links, and general updates across the site as I find them).
11 Aug 24 I graduated grad school and am now free to work on my site again! I am learning JavaScript and implemented my first code: the copyright year at the bottom of every page :)
