“…use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
1 Peter 4:10
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I have been saved by grace and serve the Lord through my art. Although a New Jersey native at heart, I am currently based out of the Tampa Bay area in Florida. I love learning new skills, spending time with family and friends, and going on unplanned adventures. I credit both of my parents with having a role in my artistic ability; my dad for teaching me how to draw a Superman symbol and my mom for passing down her Filipino creativity. My heritage not only influences my personal life, but also the name of my business. Alampat Artwork was chosen for it's Cebuano word in it meaning “creativity" which is a goal I pursue in every artistic endeavor of mine
… also because I love alliteration.
Hi! I’m Heidi McGlynn
I am a self-taught artist. In 2015, I drew my first (decent) self portrait and began documenting my art journey through Instagram in 2016. Later that year I got my first commission that I sold for $20. In 2024, I dove head-first into pursuing art and painted my first live wedding painting as a gift to my friend. Notoriously self-conscious of others watching me work in the past, having hundreds of guests viewing my process was an intimidating aspect of the job, but one that I’ve surprisingly grown to love. Painting live wedding portraits has become such a passion of mine and one that I feel so blessed to get to do for others. There is no better reward than getting to use God's gift to me to bring others joy.
