Heidi
England literally had a hobby turn
into a career. Her early training
took place at the Houston Museum of
Fine Arts. It was later she met and
studied with Jo Sonja Jansen in
Conroe, Texas. Heidi relates, "It
was here that Jo Sonja introduced
Folk Art into my life -- and I fell
in love with the art form and its
history. This was 25 years ago! Jo
has been my teacher ever since. This
I've learned -- the more you study
and learn, the more you realize how
much MORE there is to learn!
Learning is one of the true joys in
my life." Heidi has also studied in
Germany and at Vesterheim in
Decorah, Iowa.
Travel teaching and teaching for the
Society of Decorative Painters gives
Heidi a chance to share her love of
painting with people from all over
our beautiful country as well as the
world. Heidi has taught in America,
Canada, Australia, France, and
Japan. Heidi has four books on the
subject of Folk Art. She feels very
honored to have been invited to
share designs in the "Artist's
Journal", "The Decorative Painter",
and "Paint Craft" of Japan. She has
also developed a line of Pattern
Packets. These are available from
Cabin Craft Southwest in Euless,
Texas, as well as the Lady Bug from
Springfield, Missouri. Sharing Folk
Art has truly become a way of life!
