Biography
Heidi Lee Warta lives on the beautiful Northern Beaches of Sydney where she was born.
Heidi Lee’s work is passionate and vibrant. She endeavors to capture a life force and energy. The use of vivid colour and bold textures blended together gives her work a unique style, depth and a sense of heartfelt emotion where she focuses on rich palettes and techniques.
In 2012 Heidi Lee was living in Indonesia where she volunteered her time and materials and painted with the beautiful children at the YPAC Disabled Orphanage over a whopping 18 week period. The paintings Heidi and the children completed were auctioned for $10,000. Over $20,000AUD for the YPAC Orphanage was raised in total. This experience was a profound turning point in Heidi’s life.
Heidi is a full-time artist creating commission pieces for clients all over Sydney and is currently working part-time for ‘Your Side’ Australia, mental health and disability service teaching art to recipients and carers.
