Heidi Aarts “Ginko 1 & 2”- Mills BA 1981

As an educator and a lifelong artist, I love to integrate visual and performing arts throughout lessons. Making time for my art is a release and my creative expression gives me much inspiration for teaching. I work in all mediums and I live and breath the nautical theme. I have a family history in Gloucester, Mass. and I grew up in Seattle so I feel like saltwater is in my blood. Plus, for me the Oceans tremendous power represents buoyancy, freedom, life….It amazes me all the life that has come from the sea.
