Spotlight on Local and Visiting Artists

Heidi England

Fruit and Flowers Table

Heidi England literally had a hobby turn into a career. Her early training took place at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. It was later she met and studied with Jo Sonja Jansen in Conroe, Texas. Heidi relates, "It was here that Jo Sonja introduced Folk Art into my life -- and I fell in love with the art form and its history. This was 45 years ago! Jo has been my teacher ever since.”   

Heidi has also studied in Germany and at Vesterheim in Decorah Iowa. Travel teaching and teaching for the National Society of Decorative Painters gives Heidi a chance to share her love of painting with people from all over our beautiful country as well as the world. 

Foot Stool

She has taught in America, Canada, Australia, France and Japan. Heidi has four books on the subject of Folk Art.

She feels very honored to have been invited to share designs in the Artist's Journal", "The Decorative Painter", and "Paint Craft" of Japan. She has also developed a line of Pattern Packets.
