Meet Heather

I have been drawing since I could hold a crayon, and have always been in love with art. I would spend hours as a child trying to sketch what I was looking at. My passion for art continued through schooling where I received a Bachelors Degree of Fine Arts in Art Education, and a Master of Arts in Studio Art. I then went on to have a wonderful career as an art teacher for many years, and also a special educator.

When I had my third baby, I decided to retire from teaching and stay home with her. At home, even as busy as I was, I realized I needed to pursue a creative outlet. I started making custom step stools for gifts, hence the name... Preppy "Stepps!"

My little business branched from there to include wall plaques, piggy banks, ornaments, and most recently custom bottles.

Preppy Stepps has become the place where any special gift can be created for every step through life.

I have created bottles for weddings, company events, home closings, bachelorette parties, celebrity clients, and even non-alcoholic bottles for our younger clients events. I encourage a challenge!

I find that custom personalized gifts end up being the recipient’s favorite gift. There’s nothing like receiving a one-of-a-kind gift someone has created for you, and only you!

Thank you for reaching out to Preppy Stepps! I am honored you found me, and I am looking forward to making special gifts for you to gift to a loved one, or for you to keep for yourself!

I currently live on Long Island, New York, and am happily married to my husband Andrew, an engineer, and the proud mother of two boys and a girl.

  • Our bottle is STUNNING!!! She completed our order so incredibly quickly and paid attention to all of the details. Will def be buying more for special occasions!

  • Heather absolutely exceeded all expectations!! The champagne bottle turned out STUNNING! It is everything I wanted and so much more!! The bottle arrived early & was very safely and cautiously packaged. I highly recommend this talented artist. I will definitely be a returning customer!

  • Heather did a phenomenal job! She went above and beyond helping me create the perfect retirement gift for my dad. She worked with me to get a custom bottle of champagne and brought my vision to life with on of my dad’s favorite golf courses painted on the bottle. She even finished it and shipped it far sooner than I had expected which was an added bonus. Highly recommend using Heather for any bottle painting services!

  • This was the cutest gift I believe ever given for a first home present for friends! Will definitely buy again to celebrate a special occasion for family/friends!

  • Amazing!!!! Got it for a friends wedding gift. Asked to put a few details from the wedding and came out better then I could expect!! My friends are obsessed. Definitely will be getting more for future gifts.
