Heather Brockman Lee

Heather Brockman Lee is passionate about experimentation and artistic growth. An award
winning illustrator, she loves learning different mediums and trying to find the exact right
combination of paint, paper and other media to perfectly fit the mood of a book project. With a
background in Fine Art, she is also an adjunct professor of illustration, a mentor to aspiring
picture book creators, and has spoken at SCBWI conferences and webinars.

While Heather’s debut as an Author/ Illustrator will be published in 2026, she adores illustrating
work by other writers and collaborating on building a vision and world for stories. She believes
that stories have the power to help us understand each other and the world, and help us
recognize our common humanity.

Heather comes from a family of artists and musicians that have always supported her
imagination and creativity, and she tries to do the same for her own children. She loves living in
Colorado where nature is inviting year round, and spending time outside with her family and
fluffy dog.

Heather is inspired by nature, emotions, and personal relationships. She also loves painting
anything a little bit quirky or fantastical and tries to infuse all her illustrations with wonder.

Heather Brockman Lee holds a BA in Fine Art and is represented by Deborah Warren at
East West Literary Agency. She is a grand prize winner of the Portfolio Showcase at the
2021 SCBWI National Summer Conference, and of the Letters and Lines 2020 Portfolio
Showcase. Her work can be found in picture books such as Hattie Hates Hugs, A Poem
Grows Inside You, She is Mama, When You Love a Book and more forthcoming.
