Grace Heinzelmann

Grace Heinzelmann is from Vienna, VA, and is a pre-med student majoring in psychology and minoring in studio art. She has been engaged in the arts since childhood and has a particular interest in sculpture and 3D media. She is interested in the intersection of psychology and art and thus makes pieces that seek to explore what reactions and behaviors her work can elicit, almost like social experiments. She has created a plethora of unusual pieces, such as dresses made from newspapers, an interactive room where participants could do whatever they wanted to the walls, and a confessional with the priest replaced by a serpent. Grace is the secretary of the UVA Ceramics Club and has also participated in performances by the UVA Salsa Club and the Organization of Young Filipino Americans. Grace is excited about the opportunities that the Miller Arts Scholars program will bring and is honored to be joining the community.
