My artwork and life's work is focused on connecting, collaborating and creating meaningful opportunity for others to discover joy and find balance. In the studio it is about trying to make work that will make someone stop in their tracks and take a breath, like when you turn a corner on a path and see an incredible flower or landscape. In her professional career (and as one of the Craft Crawl's Founders & Co-organizers) it is about being a part of helping arts businesses and nonprofits develop and grow, and increase their impact and vibrancy in the community.
She lives in Ossining, NY with her videographer/filmmaker husband Matt Mickelson and two daughters, Carmen and Navey.

DEB HEID CERAMICS
I have been working in pottery for 17 years. In that time, I have been drawn to a traditional style that has its roots in the aesthetics of Japanese and Korean pottery. My firing process uses a wood kiln that is fired around the clock for 3 to 7 days. Starting with traditional forms and firing processes has allowed my to create a jumping of place that gives me freedom to develop my own artistic voice. I have recently added a new soft forms dimension to my vocabulary. My functional work includes soft bowls, plates and vases, as well as sakes sets, tea bowls, and yunomi. The work encompasses three themes: plain forms that embrace simplicity and grace; rough textured forms that create a feeling of coming directly from the earth and a flowing style that is evocative of mountain ridges.
resetreality
I draw from a myriad of experiences since my path as an artist has been nonlinear. I graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts with my BFA in Fine Arts in 2010, and currently live and work in New York City. I’ve continued to make work over the last decade while juggling all sorts of day jobs, including managing a Starbucks in Times Square where I learned how to juggle unexpected situations and react quickly and creatively to problems. I took on additional part time jobs in libraries and museums over the years, often working seven days a week to make ends meet. Today, I work at the Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Columbia University and am pursuing a Masters in Nonprofit Management. Living a full, curious life has deeply impacted the way I work and think about and create art.
Zhungo Handbags & Crafts
My passion for clothing design began 27 years ago, when I enrolled in the cutting and sewing academy in Cuenca, Ecuador🇪🇨.In 2019, I began to ask myself, what do I want for myself? What makes me feel productive? What do I know how to do well? How can I collaborate with the community? What is the legacy that I chose to sow?
So this was a key stage for me, as I was able to learn and develop all the skills and confidence to launch myself into designing my own line of purses.
Each purse is unique and exclusive. The designs and size of the purses are strategically designed to meet the needs of women, and men who like to wear an accessory that stands out from the rest.
