Heidi Phelps is a Washington, DC-based artist, illustrator, and screen printer whose work centers women, memory, inheritance, and transformation. Using graphic linework, negative space, botanical imagery, and selective color, she creates work that moves between the familiar and the strange.

Her practice spans illustration, screen printing, mixed media, animation, and installation, increasingly exploring ways for audiences to enter, respond to, and participate in the work. Phelps is also the creator of the internationally published Black Violet Tarot, and her artwork is held in the Smithsonian Institution’s archives.
