Welcome
My name is Lucy Mathews Heegaard. I am passionate about using storytelling as a healing art. Through writing, photography, sound recording, film editing, and deep listening, I produce stories that explore memory, identity, and belonging.
Listening to others’ stories can lead you into your own. Telling your stories can be a foothold for someone else.
I share stories to encourage you to tell yours. At present, I am working on several collective storytelling projects and am not taking new commissions for individual story work, but I hope you’ll find inspiration here to explore your own story.
memory. identity. belonging.
Exploring themes of memory, identity, and belonging, I seek to shed light on the influences that have shaped us in life and the aspects of ourselves that existed before any shaping took place. I believe that the story telling and listening process offers a vehicle for this exploration and feel strongly that sharing our stories can help us know, appreciate, and nurture the essence of ourselves.
