About US

Artist, founder and retreat leader Heidi SanFilippo is an artist based in the New York City Area. Her eclectic style encompasses a variety of mediums. Primarily working in mixed media, she also paints using watercolor and acrylic. Most recently, she has begun to explore torn paper collage. Heidi has also created large scale costumes and props for the Live with Kelly and Mark Show and the Philadelphia Mummer’s Parade.

Heidi’s love of art has been a lifelong passion, beginning with a mural painted on her childhood bedroom wall, at age three. Travel, exploration and discovering parts unknown inspire Heidi’s art.
