About Heidi Sands

(Show Details...)

I am a freelance writer and artist living in New England. I have articles published in Woman's Own Magazine, Parentguide News, Our Journey, Franklin Publishing, London Press, and newspapers. I have poetry published in Womankind Anthology and Our Journey. I have five poetry books published at Amazon. A series of three Nature Poetry Books titled, One With Nature in New Hampshire, Dreams With Nature and A Walk Through Nature With Heidi Sands. Another poetry book titled, Hope - with positive inspirational affirmations and a love poetry book titled, Angelic Butterfly filled with 100 Love Poems. All these are available in paperback. Some available on kindle.

I like to paint landscape and wildlife oil paintings. I have an art gallery that I open Spring - Fall. I am also a musician and play piano with over 100 songs written and recorded. If you would like to visit my creative website, please go to http://creativecallings.jigsy.com.
