Heidi Lee

UVA > Heidi Lee
Heidi Lee paints to find healing and redemption in the creative process. To her, the discipline of creating art requires brutal honesty. It is a practice that reminds her that few things in life are worth idolizing. Her goal is to invite the viewer to ask their own questions in response to the ones she hopes to present: a search for truth and hope within the context of false realities and deception.

Heidi Lee, formerly the UVA Vice-President, resides in Jamaica Plain. She was the Artist in Residence for the Common Art program, where she guides and instructs unhoused community members.  She also coordinated many exhibits for the program throughout the Boston area, including Common Art’s involvement in City Heart, a citywide art exhibit and sale for homeless and low-income artists. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Painting from Gordon College and a Master of Education with a concentration in Visual Arts from Lesley University. She founded the art program at an inner city middle and high school in Hyde Park, taught there for nine years, and has since been teaching students of all ages independently. She works in mixed media, acrylic, and oils at her home studio.
