Clown, Visual Artist, Arts Curator & all-around creative powerhouse, Heidi Rider shares with Natanya Ruth about her journey as an artist in the pandemic era. Heidi shares how her unique creativity cocktail of performing, painting, working with reusable resources, drawing with her non-dominant hand, while in the discomfort of improvisation invites her to show up more and more as a limitless creative force. In the wake of COVID, Heidi’s residency as a clown in Speigelworld’s Absinthe at Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas, was put on pause, and she found a gift in the space to rediscover and redefine herself as an artist dedicated to freedom, community, her tribe of “weirdos” and art as a powerful healing modality . If you’re called to create and wondering how to start, Heidi’s commitment to standing in fear and doubt while allowing the creative impulse to unfold through her, is a true inspiration.
