Heidi returned to school to pursue an art degree while raising a family.  She graduated Magna Cum Laud with a BA in Illustration. She prefers oils after working for years with colored pencil.

She says, " I have always been inspired by nature and fascinated by the various Native American tribes and their view of the world around them. They see nature as not only the creation of our world but also the guiding force behind it. The animals are both the created and the creators."

Currently pending submission for publication, she hopes her first book,
"Why the Creator made the Butterflies"
will prove to be the first of many books to come. Each of the color illustrations were done with oil.

Heidi is working at Artworks in Danbury and can be reached at  hk_gendron@yahoo.com

She adds, "I am open to freelance jobs of an Illustration or Animal Portraiture nature. Any job offered must be willing to provide contracts and a 20% deposit of job's agreed upon price. Any jobs dealing with publication will NOT be considered for Work for Hire status."

Her fantasy work is of a very different genre.
