Heather (Abbott) Doram (M.F.A., fibers, 1996) wrote, "In August 2006, I left the position as director of culture in Antigua and Barbuda and have since opened my own gallery in St. John's. The gallery is called ULANDA. It carries mostly my own work and some other local artists. I am still designing costumes for Antigua's carnival and about three years ago I got the opportunity to play the lead role in the second full length movie produced locally by HAMA Productions. At present, I am also the assistant chief examiner for the visual arts for the Caribbean Examination Council. Last month, I was featured in a Caribbean Magazine for women, SHE, which has international readership, with an article entitled, The Strength of a Woman. I have a granddaughter who is now four year old. In 2002, I was given national recognition when I was awarded The Grand Cross of the Most Illustrious Order of Merit, for my contribution to the arts in Antigua and Barbuda.

I worked at MacDill AFB, in Tampa, Florida, July 2004 to December 2005. I transferred to historic Edwards AFB in southern California in the high desert region northeast of Los Angeles and have worked there ever since. Although I have not had the luck to work in the 3-D field for which I went to SCAD, my work at Edwards AFB in the print and presentations side of graphics (utilizing primarily Adobe Creative Suite) has kept me employed during these troubled economic times. But, my first love is 3-D graphics. Maybe someday I will finally get to work in that area of graphic design.
