Heidi Zarghami
Artists on Board Artist 2020
Heidi’s mural is a collaboration with artist Carrie Ziegler. The mural represents the artists’ vision for what was, is, and will be; a future where we will not only survive, but thrive. It was inspired by Carrie’s current Art in Action project, “The Chrysalis Project: Transforming Together. “In this project, we recognize the current situation (in our homes, in the midst of this pandemic) and imagine ourselves as if we are inside of a butterfly chrysalis undergoing our own transformation. It asks the question, how can we emerge from our homes into a world that is healthier, happier, and more life sustaining for all? What are we willing to do to make that vision a reality?”
Heidi Zarghami works in trans-disciplinary mixed media focused on environmental topics. Heidi worked as the Studio Director of the Harrison Studio, managing the Stanford University Archive of the last 45 years of the Helen and Newton Harrisons’ work and assisting The Force Majeure; a 50 year project that aims to lower the entropy of the planet, and assist the migration of plant species in areas of glacial melt due to global warming. She completed her Master of Environmental Studies program in 2020 in Olympia WA, and now resides in the Pacific Northwest where she continues to creatively engage audiences in conversations about the health of the environment and the processes of the natural world.
