Heidi Skiba grew up in rural Wisconsin where she spent her childhood summers exploring forests and creeks, catching insects and frogs. She was never far from her crayons, markers and watercolors, and loved to draw and create art projects. It was in these early years that she laid the foundation for a love of art and a respect and passion for nature that has become a major focus in her life.

Heidi earned a Bachelor's Degree in environmental education from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and has spent her adult life in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and California helping people connect with wild places as a park naturalist and a NOLS instructor. She also has an obsession for hiking, backpacking, rock climbing and skiing that frequently takes her into the wilderness. Self-taught, Heidi uses watercolor, linocuts, and pen-and-ink to capture the wild places that are the inspiration for her art.
