About

Pat Heydlauff - A Different Kind of Artist

Two decades ago, I left a stressful position in the corporate world to search for balance and a deeper meaning in life. I found it – in front of an easel. And it wasn’t long before I – and others – realized I had a genuine gift.

I was over worked, fatigued, and stressed out, while holding a long term position as a CEO of a large nonprofit organization when I embarked upon my personal journey to create inner peace and harmony in my life. I felt divinely guided to balance my world through my artistic expression, painting. This put me in a state of prayer and meditation which lead me to create the art book “The Way We Go” Your Roadmap to a Better Future.

I discovered my love for painting in 1993 as I was transitioning out of a stress filled career and exploring my creative side. As a colorist, I painted lively, vibrant mainstream artwork consisting of landscapes, florals and still life's. Through painting I noticed my life was becoming balanced, and filled with harmony instead of stress. Painting allowed me to discover my spiritual nature and peace within and lead me to paint in a stream of consciousness flowing with energy. This flow of consciousness energy is visible in my recent “Art with a Message” canvas work where you can always find hope, peace and joy in the subject matter and in every brush stroke.
