Heather Marie Scholl

Heather Marie Scholl is an artist and activist committed to
creating experiences of truth that nurture a culture of healing and
transformation. She is invested in approaching
social justice issues with a productive emotionality. For her this means
connecting systems of power to personal lived experiences, including
issues of race, gender, sexuality, and abuse/trauma. She primarily works
with hand embroidery.

One of her large fine art series is Whitework,
which examines white women's roles in the establishment and maintenance
of white supremacy through whitework embroidery techniques. She also co-runs Confront White Womanhood,
an anti-racism workshop geared towards white women and those who have
experienced the idea of white womanhood put upon them. Workshops have
been held across the country, and have been written about in
Cosmopolitan and Slate. Her work
has been shown in galleries and museums all over the country, and has
been written about on
Huffington Post, Brooklyn Magazine, BUST, I-D, and Vice. She holds a BA
from The Evergreen State College in Race, Gender and Sexuality and an
MFA from Academy of Art in Fashion and Knitwear Design.
