Artist Biography – Mike Heule
A Minneapolis native, Mike Heule grew up surrounded by art and design. His father, a stained-glass and commercial artist, created windows for churches across the Midwest—early experiences that sparked Mike’s lifelong appreciation for craftsmanship and visual composition. He studied architecture at Kansas State University and went on to co-found Helix Architecture + Design, where he helped shape numerous high-profile projects across a range of scales.

Now based in Kansas City’s historic West Bottoms, Mike has turned his creative focus toward contemporary and abstract visual art. Drawing on decades of architectural experience, he explores the interplay of structure, form, and color through resin, glass, and mixed media. His work reflects a synthesis of precision and imagination—an evolution of a life immersed in art, design, and creative innovation.
