Artist in Residence Program

At Hedy & Hopp, we believe in more art and less stock photography. It’s a creative, human-centered way to showcase our personality while bringing joy to the community.

About the Program

As healthcare marketers, we thrive on making an impact on patients’ lives, but the fast-paced, compliance-heavy nature of our work can feel intense at times. That’s why we created our Artist in Residence program.

Each year, we select a new independent artist, provide them with a stipend, and refresh our brand’s aesthetic with their digital art scans. We believe it’s a beautiful win-win: the artist is compensated and can spend more time doing what they love, and we have access to beautiful art to bring our brand to life. (And we get to keep filling our clients’ walls with new art!)

Meet the 2026 Artist

Hailey Gearo

Hailey Gearo is a 32-year-old multimedia abstract expressionist originally from Omaha, Nebraska, and currently living in Austin, Texas.

Since childhood, Hailey has expressed herself through drawing, painting, and sculpture. This love for art has continued throughout her life, leading her to earn a bachelor’s degree in fine arts with a concentration in painting from Truman State University.

Hailey’s art is ever-evolving. She has shifted from depicting the female form and other natural elements as-is, to abstracting and simplifying the form into movement, and now creating dreamscapes of her inner world in simple forms that detail her emotions. Through the chaos of her energetic creations, she looks to create moments where the viewer can get lost in the details. Hailey is focused on creating moments that elicit feelings through the use of color, shape, movement, texture, and the occasional use of glitter.

Hailey’s artwork has been featured in spaces like The Cathedral, The Carver Museum, Riches Gallery, Mexican Cultural Institution SA, and the San Antonio Airport. But no matter where she is or where her art is displayed, the world is Hailey’s canvas.
