HEIDI ANDERSON:

Heidi Anderson's work is wonderfully colorful, with quirky whimsey that is similar to my pygmy painting. The first painting is in oil and has a lot of great character. Also, she uses watercolor, which I have been using more lately - she has some nice fading/blending techniques that give her art a dream-like quality.
