When Silence Becomes a Shadow Across Creativity

Not All Creative Blocks Are What They Seem There’s a specific kind of silence that most people don’t notice. It’s not dramatic or loud in its absence. It doesn’t scream or make a scene. It just sits there, heavy, quiet, familiar. It’s the silence that forms when something hurts, and instead of reacting, the body just...shuts down. That’s been me for most of my life. Not because I don’t care. Not because I don’t have anything to say. But because somewhere along the way, I lear

The Problem with Creative Prompts

For a long time, I resisted prompts. Resisted is a nice way to say, they frustrated the crap out of me. Not because I was too cool for them. Not because I didn’t need them. But because every time I sat down with one, I felt like I was being told where to go, and maybe even who to be, when all I really wanted was to be asked, “Where are you already headed?” I found for me that prompts, even the most well-intentioned ones, can so easily become direction. And direction, when y

The Art of Getting It Wrong

There’s a particular kind of ache that comes when something you made doesn’t match what you imagined. You know what I mean, that moment when you step back from your work, brush still in hand, and realize it’s... not right. Not what you saw in your mind. Not what you hoped it would be. The color is off. The composition feels flat. You layered too soon, or waited too long, or maybe you can’t even name what is wrong, you just feel it in your chest, a tightening. A pulling away

Hello!! I'm Heidi

I’m a mixed media artist creating whimsical, nature-inspired art, original paintings, and hand-crafted ephemera for fellow creatives. My work is rooted in texture, curiosity, and a deep love of the natural world—botanical forms, organic shapes, and the quiet beauty found in small details.

I’m especially drawn to making art ephemera: watercolor florals, greenery, collage elements, and stickers designed to be used and reimagined in art journals, collages, card making, and creative play. I love knowing that my art continues on in someone else’s hands and becomes part of their own creative story.

Alongside ephemera, I also create original mixed media paintings and collage, as well as art prints of select works. While my work often carries emotional depth, my focus is on creating art that feels inviting, beautiful, and alive—art that gently inspires creativity rather than explains itself.

I also teach online art classes designed to gently guide others in exploring mixed media, intuition, and creative play.

At the heart of everything I create is a simple intention: to make art that sparks curiosity, encourages creative exploration, and brings a little more beauty into everyday life
