ART FOR RELAXATION

Currently, she is focusing on making paper sculptures using natural items she collects, as well as starting to work with ceramics.

Heidi is passionate about helping people feel free and relaxed when creating art, encouraging them to believe in themselves as artists and value their unique abilities.
