Heidi Mraz

Heidi Mraz is a multi-disciplinary, automotive artist from the United States who has created an array of contemporary fine artwork dedicated to significant cars. Inspired to use art as her vehicle in sharing automotive stories and preserving history, Heidi’s process is unique in that she deeply investigates her subject, gathering an extraordinary amount of information. Using thousands of historically-relevant layers, Heidi assembles art that is far beyond a snap shot image. She creates an archival retrospect of a vehicle, as well as the people and culture surrounding her subject.  She has submerged a canvas in a Swiss lake to chronicle the infamous sunken Bugatti, painted a canvas using a wind tunnel to honor a 906, the first car Porsche ever designed in a wind tunnel; she has buried a canvas in Bordeaux, France where a race car had been entombed during World War II to be hidden from the Nazis, and has dragged a canvas through the Baja desert during the NORRA Mexican 1000 to engrain the region’s infamous silt into her work. Her art is represented in both corporate and private collections. 

In addition to serving as an official judge, Heidi has been the poster artist for several major American concours d’elegance and has also been commissioned to paint the Best of Show cars of Pebble Beach. She is currently working on a documentary that chronicles the behind-the-scenes of her historically-based automotive assemblages.
