Her final works are diaphanous as well a filled with color and paint materiality. Tensions emerge between looseness and tautness.

Her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Gallery 532 Thomas Jaeckel, NYC; Galerie Gris, Hudson, New York; Ohio Northern University, Ada, OH; The Italian Academy at Columbia University, NYC and J.C. Flowers, NYC. Heidenheimer has participated in group exhibitions at Private Public Gallery, Hudson, NY; The Emily Harvey Foundation, NYC; Zürcher Gallery, NYC; 56 Henry, NYC; Waterhouse Dodd Gallery, NYC; O’Flaherty’s, NYC; UT Knoxville, TN and the Irwin J. Miller School of Architecture, Columbus, IN.
