About the author
Heather Christian Iglesias
2 booksOver a decade ago, as an avenue to demonstrate my DIY's and artsy creations, I started blogging. Soon, I realized that writing and art were necessary outlets for me to cultivate a healthy life. My creative pursuits heightened and I began encouraging others of the benefits. Painting large scale art, teaching art and being a creative voice for my community are things I indulge in. I'm constantly growing yet narrowing down my creative focus and I intend to grow in this new world of author/ illustrator.
