Heidi Hooper is the Dryer Lint Lady — Believe it of Not. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth
University’s sculpture department, she later studied for her master’s at the University of California Long
Beach and the Massachusetts College of Art. After cancer ate most of her upper arm, she has tried to find new
ways of making art and has become perhaps the nation’s leading dryer lint artist. Her work has recently been
purchased by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not where it is showing at their museums around the world, and Heidi was
featured in their book released in 2010. Her work is also currently showing in galleries in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Heidi is, along with her husband Michael A. Ventrella, one of the founders of NERO and currently runs the Alliance LARP.
