"When you realise your art has the potential to bring people together and make a positive impact on their lives,
it's truly a remarkable feeling."
Heidi
My art is deeply personal to me. It is a representation of my soul and an indicator of where I am at in life. I believe that my art is a figment of my identity, and it evolves and changes as I do.
Living in the Northern Beaches and the Central Coast of Sydney, I'm surrounded by an abundance of natural inspiration. I feel deep;y connected to this land. The Australian bush and the Aboriginal people have had a profound impact on my art that I hope resonates with anyone who appreciates my artworks.
Eco-dying has been a significant part of my creative process, allowing me to forge a deeper connection with the land and appreciate the beauty that surrounds me. The excitement I experience when unwrapping the fabric reflects the joy and wonder that nature continually bestows upon those who seek to understand and connect with it. I believe this magic appears when I draw my trees.
I am currently one of the represented artists at The Watershed Gallery in the Hunter Valley region in Polkolbin. My successful 'Ochre Woman' art exhibition, becoming a finalist in the Kennedy Prize, and being asked to display my artwares in the boutique in Manly Art Gallery and Museum are just some of the notable achievements in my career.
Philanthropy is also important to me, and I donated eighteen weeks of my time to the YPAC children disabled orphanage in Bali, creating ten large pieces of art with the children to raise money for their schoolroom and computers.
I spend time with lovely people who are eager to learn and grow. I have been teaching art in Mental Health for over fourteen years, and I am currently a support worker in Mental Health as well.
