About
Adrienne Heloise is a mixed media artist whose work explores imaginal and historical imagery, using dense color fields that suggest a garden or battleground, where delicate shapes emerge and dissolve like ghosts — something long hidden coming into view, then disappearing again. The work invites viewers to sit with repetition as a cycle of memory without the constraints of time.
Born in Santa Rosa CA, Heloise received a BA in Psychology from Humboldt State University. She currently lives between San Francisco, CA and Santa Fe, NM.
