Heath Gordon worked in various mediums including shingling, in which he created fantastic scenes.
Over the four years of the scholarship, this 501(c)3 has raised and given away $26,000 to four Green Mountain Union High School graduates who are pursuing careers in music or art, according to Sam Gordon, brother of the late Heath Gordon, for whom the scholarship is named. Gordon was a Green Mountain grad and an eclectic artist and musician who died at the age of 43.
The first winner, Cheyenne Prescott, attends Berklee College of Music in Boston. She was followed by Tessa Bushey, attending Lesley University for Animation and Motion Media, Maddie Thomas who is attending Clark University for Theatre and Dramatic Arts and William Charlton, now enrolled at the New Hampshire Institute of Art.
