Heidi is an artist, interior designer, writer, and historian. Painting from a young age, she has been influenced by some of America’s greatest 20th-century painters in her hometown, the art colony of Provincetown. She immersed herself in art and design while living in Paris and the south of France. Her moody and atmospheric paintings capture both movement and quiet. They reflect the South Coast, Cape Cod, and the Celtic coasts of Ireland, Scotland, and France. She is an instructor at the Rhode Island School of Design and an international programs consultant for the University of Glasgow, Scotland. She blends her creative interests as co-owner of Belle Maison Westport and O’Donnell Eastman Design - hubs of fine art, architecture, and interior design. Her award-winning curriculum is taught throughout Europe and the USA. Heidi has received teaching fellowships from the Swiss government and the Uberoi Foundation in India. The Gilder Lehrman Institute of New York City nominated her as History Teacher of the Year. She has degrees from Université d ’Aix-Marseille, the Ecole du Louvre in Paris, NYU, and UMASS Amherst. She studied interior design at RISD. Her work is in collections in North America, Europe and Asia.
