Jamie Heiden is a photographer who lives in the northern part of the beautiful Driftless area of western Wisconsin. For as long as she can remember, she has been a collector of images. She stores them in her mind; she captures them with her camera. For her, a picture really can tell a story - one of beauty or despair, hope or loneliness, laughter or fear. They can be magnificent or they can show the brilliance and magic lying dormant within the ordinary. Life’s simplicity is her inspiration and conveying that story is her goal.

She received her degree in photography and printing technology from Northern Arizona University and has been a full time photographer for the past 20 years. Polaroid transfers along with hand-tinted black-and-white fiber prints once served to satisfy her cravings of texture and color. And now she has found the digital solution to those techniques in her work today by combining multiple photographic layers. Jamie shows her work at a variety of galleries in the Midwest as well as internationally. She has contributed images to multiple publications and has a growing number of book covers in her collection, working with publishers such as Random House, Harper-Collins and Simon and Schuster.
