I’m Heidi Parkes, 15th Artist in Residence for The Pfister Hotel, Jan 2024 - end of Jan 2025
FAQS:
I have moved my home studio to a public studio, where I do all my usual work as a full-time artist. Please consider that this is not a shop or an art gallery, but instead this a focused workspace that you get to observe.
You’re likely to find me:
20% sewing
40% in meetings and teaching
40% working on the computer
If you visit, you’re very welcome to look at my quilts, and if I’m not in a meeting, I can pause for about 5-min to chat before retuning to my computer work. (If we’re both in luck and if you find me sewing, stay and chat a little longer! This is typically in the evening)
Yes! My art is for sale. Quilts can be purchased online in my shop, and ‘small works’ and $13 rabbit scissors can be purchased with cash or credit on the spot.
Details on availability and scheduling time with me are below. 💙
