Summer State of Mind FLASH SALE

“Balcony Jungle Pt. 2”

“Balcony Jungle Pt. 2”

This summer has flown by and has mostly been a “state of mind” since I have spent most of it on my balcony. But it was still a summer to remember and one that I am sure we will all remember. To wrap up the season I am hosting a FLASH SALE starting TODAY thru Sunday, 8/30 on some of my original water colors that I’ve painted over this summer. It has brought me a lot of joy over the COVID summer and I am excited to share them with you. BONUS!! The Summer State of Mind Flash Sale extends to my etsy shop prints as well!!

Back Story

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I'm Heidi, the creator and owner of Desert 2 District Design. I moved to D.C. in 2015 after spending most of my life in Arizona. I absolutely love D.C., but found myself a little homesick and missing some of my favorite desert plants (cacti, of course), the endless sunshine, and the laid-back vibes of the Southwest, so I started painting as a way to unwind and to bring some of the desert to my new home. It's been almost a year since I started my Instagram account, and I've been so surprised and grateful to find this beautiful and supportive community of artists and art lovers. 

If you know me from Instagram, you probably know that I love to paint (mostly watercolor), letter, bullet journal, and collage. I'm hoping to share more of my art here, but to also share more of myself--my love of travel, reading, cooking delicious vegan food, and yoga. 

I hope you'll follow along and say hi!
