Heloisa Pomfret is a Brazilian/American interdisciplinary visual artist. Her body of work includes painting, drawing, collages, ceramics and cut-out installations.

Her paintings involve the palimpsest process, where layers of paint are scratched to reveal further paint beneath. The canvas is cut and re-stitched, creating an abstract work on the margins of painting/drawing and sculpture. The imagery of her work is inspired by the physiology of the brain and human behavior/impulses.

She currently exhibits at the N’Namdi Center for Contemporary Art in Detroit and Miami. She has also exhibited nationally in New York, Chicago and Seattle. She has exhibited internationally in Brazil and attended residencies in Berlin, France, Portugal, Italy and the United States, including the American Academy of Rome and Mass MoCA.

She has conducted a workshop in printmaking with clay in Portugal, and also given artist talks and exhibitions broadly.

She earned an M.A. and an M.F.A in Painting/Drawing from Wayne State University in Detroit Michigan. The artist divides her time between Detroit and New York City.
