Lucy Mathews Heegaard

Using spoken word + video collage + personal documentary, I create stories that invite us to connect deeply with ourselves,
with one another, and with this world we inhabit together.
Lucy Mathews Heegaard is an interdisciplinary artist who uses sound design, video collage, and personal documentary to share stories that are an invitation to self-reflection. She deftly weaves her multiple forms of media into an immersive, intimate, visceral story experience for viewers. She earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2023. Born in New York, raised in Alabama, Lucy has lived and worked in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul Minnesota since the late 1980s, working in the non-profit affordable housing community before her shift to the creative arts.
