Artist Spotlight | Heidi Broom

In this artist interview, we meet Heidi Broom, an abstract painter whose creative practice is rooted in personal transformation and self-discovery.

After a 30-year career in the technology industry, Heidi made the bold shift from the corporate world to the creative one. A late-in-life AuDHD diagnosis reframed her experiences, giving her the space to embrace vulnerability, self-love, and freedom of expression through art.

Heidi speaks candidly about how early experiences—being told at twelve she was “not creative”—shaped her path, and how cycles of burnout in high-pressure roles eventually led her to rediscover her innate creativity. Through painting, she found both joy and flow, as well as a new way to connect with herself and others.

Heidi’s story reminds us that creativity is not about perfection—it’s about freedom, courage, and allowing ourselves to be seen.

Enjoy the conversation.
