Sharing this 3-minute “Heart Behind the Art” video that will play before my live-paint auction pieces at December’s fundraisers. Painting has been such a gift, and I’m grateful for every chance to use it for good.

This Saturday I’ll be painting “Starry Soirée and Sails” at the Festival of Trees gala (benefiting the Community Resource EnVision Center), and next Saturday, Dec. 13, “Light on the Hill” for the IdaHope Families benefit. 100% of proceeds go to support nonprofits.

My quiet goal: raise $1M for charity with my art before I die. (Thanks for your work on this video Jean Paul Beaumont !)

This 3-minute mini-documentary offers an intimate look at award-winning artist Heather Mehra-Pedersen, known for her bold palette-knife style and emotive use...

I'm thrilled that my artwork, 'Coming In Hot', was recently selected for the 4th Annual WINGS International Juried Art Exhibition by Wild Heart Gallery. It’s an honor to be part of a show that brings together artists from all over the world. I painted this barn owl to the spotted frame!

Speaking of birds, tickets are still on sale for the 'Give Hunger the Bird' fundraiser in Hayden, Idaho where I will be LIVE PAINTING! The work will be auctioned off at the end of the night. Saturday October 11, 5-8PM. Tickets still available, but going fast!

Live Painting for a Cause: Supporting Bonner Homeless Transitions.

I’m thrilled (and a bit nervous!) to be painting live at the Bonner Homeless Transitions Little Black Dress Fundraiser on May 1st from 5-7 PM.

I have just under 2 hours to create something special during the event, and the painting will be auctioned off at the end of the night to help raise money for a cause that means so much to me and our community.

Tickets are almost sold out, so grab one while you can!
(I hope to see you there!)
