Artist Heidi Lewis Coleman creates mixed media assemblage pieces using acrylic paint and cut paper on canvas. Her work reflects an ongoing exploration into the aesthetics of using language in art. While most conceptual artists incorporate text into their work as a means of analyzing popular culture or for making political and social commentary, Coleman is focused on developing text as a visual design element. Her work incorporates abstract writings which are invented languages she has developed as she creates. The artist feels that because her artwork communicates in the abstract and is not literal, individual viewers are not forced to translate it specifically, allowing them to experience each piece in a way that is personal and unique.

Coleman studied art at Parsons and the New York School of Design. She is a juried member of the National Association of Women Artists and the Silvermine Guild of Artists. An award winning artist, she has exhibited in New York, Connecticut, California, Florida and many other states across the country.
