Meet Heidi

Hi, I’m Heidi.

I’m the artist behind Art By H Studio.  Honestly, becoming an artist was not exactly the plan.  I never took an art class in my life.

For 18 years, I worked in the corporate world. I had the career, the meetings, the deadlines, the very full calendar as you can imagine.  During COVID I hated everything in my house.  Instead of ordering artwork online I ordered art supplies and got to work.

What began as something I did on the side quickly became something I started building as a small business.  I loved the freedom of it. The fact that there wasn’t always a right answer. I could start with a blank canvas and just see where it took me.

After a few years of painting part time, I finally decided to take the leap and make art my full time job.  (Getting laid off helped a little bit too:)

So here I am.  I create abstract art that is meant to feel calm, intentional, and personal. Sometimes I start with a specific idea. Sometimes I have absolutely no idea where a painting is going. (Those are often my favorites.)

I’m inspired by everyday life, the people I love, family, travel, color, memories, and those little reminders we all need to slow down and actually look around once in a while.  My goal isn’t to create art that simply fills an empty wall.  I want to create something that makes you feel something.  And if it happens to make your home a little more you along the way, even better.

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll probably find me drinking coffee, hanging out with my family, or snuggling my studio assistant, Carlton.

Thanks for being here. I’m really glad you found me.
