Heather Shawne
Heather Shawne is a furniture artist who transforms everyday pieces into playful works of functional art. Her installation In Luck We Trust reflects Atlantic City’s unique blend of faith and chance, inviting viewers to consider the belief we place in luck itself. Centered around a wingback chair upholstered in playing-card velvet and set on a poker table platform, the room is surrounded by glowing stained-glass panels and hanging plush fortune cookies. Through color, texture, and humor, Shawne blends craftsmanship with storytelling, creating a space that celebrates whimsy, transformation, and the spirit of risk.
