Heide
Presse
Through the use of dramatic lighting and rich color,
the images that Heide paints weave a story of the places and
people that are most important to her. Sprinkled throughout
these images are the objects that she enjoys collecting. There
is something about the character of older things that engages
her imagination. She loves exploring antique markets and is
constantly on the lookout for interesting architecture, old-fashioned
gardens and vintage clothing pieces. Heide is always finding
the quiet beauty in life.
"When people view my work, I'd like them to be reminded
of the blessings that God has given us. Whether it is a breathtaking
landscape, of a child holding a simple flower... we all should
slow down and take notice of our surroundings and enjoy the
small moments in our lives, because they pass all too quickly."
Heide is married with a young son and lives in Florida. She
has a Bachelor of Fine Arts and has worked as a commercial
artist. Her paintings have been juried into the Arts for the
Parks Top 100, where she has won the Region I, Founders' Favorite,
Collectors' Choice and San Antonio Missions National Park
awards.
Her work has been shown in the National and American Watercolor
Societies and she has been featured in numerous publications,
having been named Artist to Watch by US Art and Wildlife Art
magazines.
