Each year, we’ll select an artist and showcase their work on all of our platforms. Selected artists will have their artwork featured on a variety of Hedy & Hopp brand assets, platforms and marketing channels, and will receive a stipend for the year. We champion creativity and relish this opportunity to give these artists additional exposure and recognition. It’s just one way we inspire joy and build connections among communities.
H. Ward Miles (American b. 1981) is a contemporary painter based in Carmel, Indiana, whose work is shaped by her ability to connect to the human experience. Heavily influenced by traditional abstract expressionism, Miles’ paintings rely on less tangible forms of communication, evoking joy and sometimes sorrow through organic shapes, unexpected colors and translucent layers.
Her personal mark making and scribbled notes create a visual language that lets her audience in on her secrets and connects the past to the present, while tapping into a universal portrayal of what it means to be human.
