Meet the Artist
Hi, I'm Heidi
I live in a quiet corner of the world where the sea is close, the moss grows thick, and the light knows how to linger.
I create art to slow the world down. Each piece is an invitation to pause, breathe, and notice the quiet beauty hiding in everyday moments. Inspired by nature, impermanence, and simplicity, my work aims to bring calm, presence, and a sense of wonder back into our lives.
Artist Statement
"Noticing is where it all begins.
Through nature’s moods, everyday rituals, and minimalist restraint, I explore what presence feels like: soft, imperfect, and deeply human.
Each piece is a small act of observation —
a reminder that beauty isn’t rare, it’s simply overlooked."
Artist Bio
Heidi Hjort is a contemporary painter whose work invites viewers to slow down and rediscover the quiet beauty hidden in everyday life. Guided by a soft, neutral palette and layered, subtle textures, her paintings evoke a sense of calm, presence, and gentle wonder — a pause button in visual form.
Her artistic journey has been shaped by moments of both joy and loss: the grounding presence of motherhood, the grief of losing a brother too soon, the quiet lessons of divorce, and the faithful companionship of a dog who brought her back to nature. A formative student exchange in Japan sparked her lifelong connection to wabi-sabi, eastern philosophy, and the beauty of impermanence — themes that continue to infuse her work.
Collectors are drawn to Heidi’s art for its ability to transform spaces into sanctuaries. Whether displayed in a modern home, a serene workspace, or a gallery setting, her paintings offer a moment of stillness — an invitation to notice, breathe, and feel the poetry of the present moment.
