my name is heidi albright. every day i try understand who i am, and why any of us are here.
most of the time i am a farmer, but i am also an artist, writer, ecologist, graphic designer and tinkerer.
i am inspired by nature, by connections, by compassion.
i love to study light and color, order and chaos, texture and weight in the materials i use: wood and acrylic paint, pastels, printmaking, watercolor and ink, pencil and charcoal.
when i am not busy farming, i can be found with my family, my horses, in the garden homesteading, or somewhere quiet trying to create something.
when i can, i like to fix things that are broken.
since graduating in 2002 with a master’s of science degree in biology (ecology and evolution) from the university of vermont, i try to interpret the world with the eyes and mind of a scientist and the heart and hand of an artist. for me, merging these perspectives allows for greater depth in my understanding.
vermont is a paradox of beauty: harsh winters followed by impossibly lush summers.
constantly changing weather and the cycle of seasons reminds me that nothing stays the same for very long– we are in constant evolution from one form to another.
i am learning that every moment is open to the universe of possibility.
