Heidi Svenson (a nom de plume) came to the art rodeo late in life. But that doesn't stop her from trying. In fact, when she's not busy "pining for the fjords", she can be found trying all kinds of artistic mediums. Originally from San Francisco, Heidi has a wide range of interests and skills. Since the age of seventeen, she's been involved in many aspects of television production and has explored a wide variety of other disciplines including advertising, high-tech PR and book publishing.She considers herself just a "dabbler" in art, at best. She resides in Portland, Oregon with her cranky, enormous (but still photogenic) Snowshoe cat.
