As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Heather loves to portray diverse characters and gets especially excited for any story that reveals the world from a new or different perspective. This is portrayed in the art in her picture books KATIE FINDS HER VOICE: A STORY ABOUT AUTISM by Amy McCoy, SIMPLY SKYE by Pamela Morgan, and MAC AND CHEESE AND THE PERSONAL SPACE INVADER by Jolene Gutierrez. Heather whole-heartedly believes that hidden within our everyday lives is a secret realm glimpsed through books, music, and children’s laughter. Holding a BFA in Painting from the Kansas City Art Institute, she is a member of SCBWI, and a Children’s Book Academy graduate, and a mommy. When not illustrating and writing, she searches out story ideas as an with her little ninja.
