Heidi Daub is a multidisciplinary artist based in Blue Hill, Maine. Originally from upstate New York, near the meeting of the Susquehanna and Chenango rivers, she has lived and created along Maine’s coast since 1984. Deeply influenced by her background in gymnastics, dance, and music, Heidi’s work carries a physical and emotional rhythm, drawing inspiration from motherhood, place, and the cycles of life.Her creative practice moves fluidly between painting, writing, and music. Over the years she has published three compilations that bring together her visual and written work: Eve of a New Round (2008), Pieces of Prayer (2015), and In the Time of Turning (2024). She has also presented at the Belfast Poetry Festival and the Maine WORD Festival in Blue Hill, and her writing has been featured in anthologies such as A Dangerous New World: Maine Voices on the Climate Crisis and Voices from the Coast: Maine Coast Heritage Trust Celebrating 50 Years.Speaking about her process, Heidi explains that her paintings emerge from both stillness and urgency, as she seeks to render her interdependence with the natural world: “The resultant images of coalesced line, form, color, and movement are a discovery born out of the complexities of love and daily experience.” Her work often explores points of convergence—between rivers, experiences, and generations—while remaining grounded in the tactile immediacy of lived life.Recipient of the inaugural Artist in Residence award at the Alcyon Center in 2018, Heidi continues to paint, write, and exhibit widely. Her paintings are housed in private and corporate collections internationally.Read more about the artist in Through Rivers and Time: Heidi Daub’s Layered, Lyrical Maine.
