Create how you feel, not what you see.
Fridge Art is an invitation to explore art from the inside, out. It flips the usual format most of us have experienced when it comes to making something with our own hands. Very often we apply an image from outside of us, say an animal, a flower, or design print, and then try to re-create that image by looking at or imagining it.
Fridge Art has a completely different intention at the onset. When you meet the blank page, you are encouraged to really feel what the wide openness actually does to you. Is it refreshing? Overwhelming? Interesting? It is in this inward contact that the art process itself becomes awake. We shift our interest from what we or others will think of this to, what am I feeling? What color may that come out like? Is it quick or slow? Circles or squares?
Each Fridge Art session provides a specific prompt along with the simple materials needed for that night. You are then guided into meditation to establish your awareness within. From there we all emerge in our own unique flow of what the theme is awakening in our creation process. Our time together closes with sharing in and witnessing what everyone made.
Similar to the fingerprints we have that no one else does, our art takes its genuine shape of something only we could make and completely leaves the territory of comparing and competing. Here we are practicing relishing in the simple beauty of every individual and the way they see and experience life.
“The aim of art is to express not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”
— Lama Tsultrim Allione
What people are saying about Fridge Art:
“I really loved our Fridge Art session — it was such a special experience. The space Heather created for us and the way she guided everything really stayed with me, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.”
— Raquel Velloso
“Heather completely changed my relationship to creating art. The most notable thing for me has been the way she helped me to feel more liberated in my expression, working through and releasing the judgment around my art. She continues to guide me to tap into the essence and the feeling and the overall quality of being present as I’m doing art. Heather really freed me to see that making art is about feeling into the joy of the process and now I create from there. It’s been hugely impactful for the way I approach all of my life. She invited me to rework my relationship to the creative process which has spilled out in ways I couldn’t of imagined.”
— Abby Puente
“Fridge Art is a mix of movement, music, meditation, and sharing in creative expression through art. These monthly gatherings have encouraged me to shift my intention to tuning into fun, creativity, internal questioning, and floating in the liminal space of the creation process itself. I feel myself enter a flow state where my mind becomes quiet, my heart opens, peace and joy arise, and laughter spills out. It’s a true gift to be able to share from the depths of your heart and be met with curiosity, acceptance, and gratitude for your vulnerability. That’s what I have found at Fridge Art and I’m so grateful for the way they have felt like a warm hug for my nervous system.”
— Katy Kuosman
“Doing art with Heather is like turning off my brain, allowing it to rest, and then letting my heart and my body, fully come through. There’s no trying to do that, I just dive right into the full embodiment and it speaks. When my body and my heart speak through the art, is has such great meaning for me. I could reach deeper places and crevices, deeper feelings, than I have the language for mentally. That’s why I like doing art with Heather. She just excavates all of that out of you. I freaking love it and it feels so good.”
— Sarah White
“When I do art with Heath I feel a sense of trust that allows me to fully dive in. She leads art in a very timely and attuned way— opening to the uniqueness of the present moment and offering a way to touch oneself more deeply through a spontaneous, explorative art process. I am always surprised and opened by what comes out of me. Heath helped me remember that art is fun, art is insightful, art is connecting and art, it comes from the heart.”
— Nate Jones
“Fridge Art has become a special evening that I look forward to all month. It is a sacred time for me to make a creative representation of a part of my inner landscape, to put the judgment and inner narrative that so often bogs down my creative freedom aside, and make art in a more truly natural state. Heather has struck a perfect balance of providing an exploratory prompt but also allowing for full freedom of expression. It beautifully merges art in the center of self-awareness.”
— Krista Sohmer
“Doing art with Heath is the most fruitful nonsense. Throwing a bunch of colors and ideas on the page, rediscovering the innocence to not judge it, and realizing, there isn’t an ounce of nonsense in it.”
— Kenneth Gabbard
“Arting with Heather is always guaranteed to be a unique and profound experience. Heather shepherds the creative flow from your deepest heart, allowing you to explore yourself and your emotions in ways you may not have even known possible. She provides the tools, prompts, and space for you to explore freely, messily, with abandon, leaving you with an “artists high,” an inspired heart, and an enriched soul.”
— Dani Morshead
“Art with Heath is an invitation to let go of all the rules you thought you had to follow. For someone who has never thought of herself as creative or artistic, it took some time for me to let go and make art just to make art. Heath creates a space that feels like freedom, to be able to drop in and use the array of materials she offers for whatever wants/needs to come up. It’s a beautiful thing really, and fun too! I would often have some epiphany type moments after I was done creating and looking at what came about. There’s also something special about creating next to other people from the community!
Art + Community?
Count me in!”
