We're introducing Amia Frazier, senior intern at Heights Arts and lead curator of "Colorburst", as she concludes her two-year internship with the organization. A graduating senior at Cleveland Heights High School, Amia’s time at Heights Arts has been marked by creative growth, thoughtful collaboration, and a deep exploration of color and expression.

Frazier’s artwork centers around the emotional impact of color and the ways it can transform mood, memory, and everyday experiences. Through mixed media and experimentation with technique, she creates vibrant works that invite viewers into unexpected realities shaped by tone and feeling.

"Colorburst" reflects both her evolving artistic voice and the culmination of her internship experience at Heights Arts.

“I want viewers to look closely at my work and see a transformed world through color and unexpected realities.” ~Amia

Julie Sheil is a University Heights based artist working across several disciplines. As a fiber artist, she creates handwoven baskets using a traditional coiled basketry technique. Her baskets, bowls, and trays blend form and beauty with elegant functionality. As an abstract artist, Julie creates paintings and mixed media work using her intuition as her guide. She tempers the rawness of this approach with thoughtful design and composition. Her work is heavily influenced by her deep connection to the natural world, as evidenced by the use of abstracted landscapes and natural elements. She does not like to dictate what the viewer should see or feel. Instead, Julie invites viewers to experience her work on their own terms.

This summer Julie will be teaching Intro to Abstract Painting and Intro to Intuitive Abstract Collage at Stella’s Art Gallery in Willoughby.

She will also be teaching her Handwoven Basket Workshop at Lakewood Art Supply on various Sundays through the summer.

We’re so happy to have Arleigh Savage on board as Program Manager at Heights Arts! An integral part of our organization, Arleigh brings incredible energy and vision to her work, paired with a deep passion for highlighting local artists and connecting our community through the arts.

A Michigan-born bassoonist, Arleigh holds music performance degrees from Michigan State University and the Cleveland Institute of Music. She maintains an active performance career, playing with ensembles including the Youngstown Symphony and Cleveland Pops Orchestra. She’s also a founding member of North Coast Winds and her former project: Sororii, a world-indie cello/bassoon duo exploring themes of sisterhood across cultures.

Arleigh’s work goes far beyond performance. A dedicated educator and collaborator, she is the bassoon faculty at Cleveland State University. She also brings a spirit of curiosity and innovation to her artistry, experimenting with electroacoustic looping pedals and cross-genre collaborations.

At Heights Arts, Arleigh plays a key role in shaping programs that bring art into the heart of our city. We’re grateful for her creativity, leadership, and commitment to celebrating the artists who make our community so vibrant.
