Artist Statement
I'm a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, bookbinding, collage, and public art. My practice is rooted in real community stories and issues, drawing connections between larger systems and the lived experiences of the people I work with and for. Through bold color and expressive gesture, I build vibrant compositions that demand attention. When working across media, I gather voices, materials, and histories from specific communities, shaping them into work that creates meaning through storytelling and collective engagement.
Heidi Jeub’s passion for visual expression began with a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from the University of Minnesota in 1999. During her undergraduate years, she also immersed herself in the study of architecture—an influence that continues to shape her artistic approach, even though it didn’t become her primary career.
After graduating, Heidi explored sculpture and bookbinding as her main mediums, both of which helped form her creative voice. As she raised three children, painting gradually became central to her practice, blending the rhythms of parenthood with new artistic growth and perspective.
In 2017, she earned a Masters of Professional Studies in Arts & Cultural Leadership from the University of Minnesota. This advanced study deepened her understanding of how art and community engagement intersect, strengthening her ability to address complex community-based issues through creative work.
Today, Heidi works across painting, bookbinding, collage, and public art. Her multidisciplinary practice invites people into meaningful dialogue, encouraging reflection on shared experiences and challenges. Through accessible visual language and thoughtful exploration, she aims to foster connection, empathy, and positive social change, helping communities see—and reimagine—the world through art.
