Heidi Schaefer

Heidi is a visual artist whose work engages with contemporary social and political issues. Her work usually starts from an idea and which develops using a range of mediums: 3D, drawing, painting, artist’s books, digital collage and video. Heidi works through the appropriate materials and medium to realize the concept.

When working with young people of all ages, her emphasis is on the
creative process and how this can facilitate and extend individual
expression. Using, for example, drawing or sculpture with recycled
industrial materials, she helps participants find different ways to
communicate their vision and talents. As in her own practice, she works with ideas at age appropriate levels. She has worked on citizenship, collectivity, identity, as well as emotions using these methods.
