Who We Are

Guardswell Enterprises Inc. supports select artists and develops large-scale creative ventures designed to empower communities, expand access to the arts, and advance cultural development with intention.

Founded by artist and curator David Frederick Heatwole, Guardswell exists to steward creativity with purpose bringing together art, faith, and service to shape projects that matter beyond the moment. Our focus is not scale for its own sake, but depth, integrity, and long-term impact.

What We Do

Artist Support & Management

We help select artists grow sustainable careers through strategic guidance, marketing, publishing, and long-term creative support.

Creative Venture Development

We develop ambitious cultural projects—from mobile museums to creative spaces—that bring art into communities and reimagine how culture is experienced.

Art for Charity & Social Imapct

We unite creativity with purpose, connecting artists and causes to inspire dialogue, healing, and positive social change.

TransformaMuseum

This Artist’s Dream

A cultural initiative dedicated to promoting Ultimate Creation as “America’s Mona Lisa of the 21st Century.” We are currently organizing three major unveiling events and building national awareness around this iconic work. Future plans include touring the painting via TransformaMuseum and launching the broader ARTNET project to highlight under-recognized American masterpieces.

A visionary mobile museum experience currently in the design and fundraising stage. Housed in expandable, museum-quality trailers, this project will bring world-class art exhibitions directly to communities across America—beginning with a national tour of Ultimate Creation through the American Masterpiece Consortium.

Our publishing imprint dedicated to artists and art-centered storytelling. Recent releases include a climate change-inspired print series and board book by Virginia artist Dave Curtis, as well as David Heatwole’s memoir series. We specialize in limited editions, artist retrospectives, and collectible formats that preserve both vision and voice.

American Masterpiece Consortium

The Main ARTery Publishing

A lifestyle and merchandise brand showcasing the artwork of David F. Heatwole. From apparel to home goods, each collection brings fine art into everyday life. With a growing national customer base, the brand releases new collections regularly at ThisArtistsDream.com

OUR COMMITMENT

At every level, Guardswell is committed to building frameworks that help artists bring their visions to life—through thoughtful management, intentional partnerships, and ventures rooted in meaning rather than trend.

We believe art has the power to transform lives, cities, and conversations when it is supported with clarity, care, and conviction.

PARTNER WITH PURPOSE

We are seeking partners, investors, and collaborators who believe in the cultural and spiritual power of art and want to help bring ambitious creative projects to fruition.

Whether you are an artist, institution, funder, or community leader, there is room to build something meaningful together.
