"I never wanted to be anything other than an artist... Well, except maybe a mermaid.”
~ Mindi Yarbrough
Hi, I’m Mindi also known as WildHeart Arts. I am a graphic designer and artist focusing on fine art, crafts, illustration, coloring books, and murals.
I am an advocate for the healing, therapeutic, and transformative powers of art and art making! My mission in life is to create, share, and impact my community through art.
As a working independent artist I have facilitated and participated in over 50 art exhibitions across the country including Moundsville and Wheeling, West Virginia; Columbus, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; and San Francisco, California. I am also a full-time Art Director and Graphic Designer. I have over 20 years of design experience and am a lifelong artist. Creativity is more than a career, it’s my way of life.
I draw inspiration from dreams, fantasy, archetypes, myth, nature, and pop culture. I love to be expressive, whimsical, and weird with my artwork and love having fun, exploring, and experimenting with my process.
