About the artist

Heidi Beal, a visual artist hailing from Jonesport, Maine, originally from Beals Island, Maine, exhibited a passion for drawing from a young age.  Despite lacking formal art education, she ventured into acrylic painting during her early adulthood, exploring various mediums such as airbrush, face and body painting, murals, and pen and ink over the years.  Rooted in a rural Maine, she takes inspiration from the scenic beauty and heritage of the Maine coast.

Since her return to Maine, Beal has actively contributed to local art fundraisers, notably the 2019, 2020, and 2023 Milbridge Theatre Art Project, aimed at supporting the reconstruction of a cherished local theater from her childhood.  Her artistic endeavors were showcased at the Schooner Art Gallery in Milbridge, Maine, during the 2019 44 Degrees North Open Art show.  Noteworthy among her achievements, her piece “Christmas Rowboat” was selected for the cover of the December 2021 issue of Hobe Sound Magazine.  In 2022, she generously donated her artistic skill to craft a wall mural for the Jonesport Volunteer Fire Department, expressing gratitude for their community service.  Heidi Beal’s creations grace private collections around the world.
