I create to spark wonder in little (and big) explorers.
Meet The Artist

Hi, I'm Heidi Koland.

​

I’m a children’s author, nature photographer, and abstract ink artist — three creative paths that all flow from the same place:

a love of wonder.

Children's Book Author

I love inspiring curiosity about nature — whether it’s a short evening walk, discovering hidden treasures outdoors, or simply relaxing in a cozy chair beneath the sky. Storytelling is my way of sharing that wonder, and I’m thrilled to bring it to life in my debut children’s book!

Alcohol Ink Artist

As an artist, I’m drawn to exploring different mediums of expression. Recently, I discovered alcohol inks and was captivated by their wispy, ethereal quality. The flowing colors feel alive — shifting, moving, and echoing the rhythms of the natural world. Their motion and energy remind me of wind through trees, waves against the shore, and the quiet music of nature itself.

Natural Photographer

I’ve been a nature photographer for over three decades — hard to believe, but it all began with my undergraduate degree. I feel as though I see the world through a lens, always searching for the beauty that surrounds us. From sweeping landscapes to quiet moments and hidden treasures, my photography is a way of honoring the details, rhythms, and wonder of the natural world.
