In the wee hours, I find myself contemplating the vagaries of human nature. Who do we love? What motivates us? Where do we find solace? When will we learn? Raised in Minnesota by my father; horses, dogs, cats and occasionally racoons, were my companions. When I eventually married, had three children and moved to Connecticut, one neighbor dubbed me, “Heidi raised by wolves” for my lack of social graces. I don’t mind. I’m comfortable marching to the beat of my own drum. I love nature, animals and am an avid athlete. Like my German grandfather, I find pleasure in hard work and have built a successful plant-based company, Heidi’s Real Food. No stranger to solitude, I often find myself feeling more like an observer than a participant in social situations. Hatching Love, my debut novel, explores the themes of community, connection and rebirth from the perspective of an observer who happens to be a narcissist ghost. Is Tom me? My alter ego? I never knew. While my peers talk of “feeling their age”, I have come into my power, creativity and focus. Never in step, never in tune, I laugh my way on to the page. https://www.heidimatonis.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/6f487f50-5c11-4d98-9f7b-9224d827426e/heidi+favicon.png Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heidimatonis.com/art daily 0.75 2026-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/971d91f3-ae51-475b-bdf3-2e660557a6e6/Archipelago+%235.jpeg Art Archipelago #5, Oil on Wood Panel, 24" x 48" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/5ef9f167-fb23-46ea-8bdb-1a90aa197886/Archipelago+%234.jpeg Art Archipelago #4, Oil on Wood Panel 24" x 48" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/b0c4f50a-66b6-4be5-b9a7-e8b127c5e496/Summer+Morning+2.jpg Art Summer Morning, Oil on Wood panel 24" x 24" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/ce30726b-c9b2-4960-b5c3-b921e6b82e2b/Archipelago+%232.jpeg Art Archipelago #2, Oil on Wood Panel 24" x 48" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/f171a118-f8ba-4ee6-8618-fdd30f7b0316/Mapping+My+Way.jpeg Art Mapping My Way, Oil on Wood Panel 24" x 48" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/f979907d-cbdc-4a58-8076-eba9eb2c1142/Night+Sky.jpeg Art Night Sky, Oil on Wood Panel 24" x 24" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/56903624-ca84-4006-b3c5-1d3b59dd45ad/Ullapool.JPG Art Ullapool, Oil on Wood Panel 24" x 24" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/6f498bed-9f45-471d-8e6b-0ba50a01fa55/Shoreline+Morar.jpeg Art Shoreline Morar, Oil on Wood Panel 24" x 24" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/753b625a-22cf-4055-888d-7143fed72bca/Tofino.jpeg Art Tofino, Oil on Wood Panel 24" x 24" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/e0c1804d-f71c-43ba-bada-9d8026908aaf/View+of+Ghent.jpeg Art View of Ghent, Oil on Wood Panel 24" x 24" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/bdb01f01-c142-4d93-9880-0e631963ddce/Chloe.jpg Art Chloe, Oil on Canvas 36" x 36" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/794cf913-424b-47c8-81f9-9592a4d323dc/Digby.jpg Art Digby, Oil on Wood Panel 24" x 24" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/7964811d-b6bd-4809-87af-6a84954bc770/Horseshoe+Bay.jpeg Art Horseshoe Bay, Oil on Wood Panel 24" x 24" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/aa792dcf-0ec4-4741-a333-8e8e26c772cb/Climate+Change.jpg Art Climate Change, Oil on Canvas 18" x 48" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/df1126ed-83b3-40c0-b882-ff49aabdbca4/Living+With+A+Cockatoo.jpg Art Living with a Cockatoo, Oil & Graphite on Wood Panel 16" x 20" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/0e0650fa-954a-4505-b9f0-a0e501fff6d0/Traveller.jpg Art Traveller, Oil on Canvas 36" x 36" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/cf102977-bc95-41b6-ab15-12ce84ae39e7/The+Wave.jpg Art The Wave, Oil on Panel 11" x 14" https://www.heidimatonis.com/home daily 1.0 2026-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/dc5247e6-90cc-4fcd-8f56-b4e4dab7912c/HKM+Books-1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/13e505f4-32bc-473d-8802-ac7a9cb7355d/HKM+Books-3.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/f81182b3-4c32-4047-881a-95938c6b26a7/HKM+Books-2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/09af80cc-461c-4dd9-84cf-f44a2e414794/Nitro+Cover.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/6ac426c6-d403-4fde-8fdd-649e1ef62a81/Imagining+Monticello+Kindle.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/e49b9ca4-3f65-4531-b1be-3b3951dede13/Hatching+Love.JPEG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200bd5ba7280e333adc4aa7/c9af065b-a512-4d3a-8159-fa07b3ea43e0/Ricardo+Cover2-1.jpg
