Heather Kinkade
is the president of Desert Willow Gourds, a company that grew out of a
desire to continue the hand graphics that she had refined over the last
25 years in the Land Planning and Landscape Architectural field. As time
moves forward, hand graphics are replaced with computer graphics and
this creative endeavor has allowed Ms. Kinkade to use the hand graphics
talent she has gained in her professional career, to reference the
multiple wildflower books she has collected from around the world, and
to create innovative art from once living plant material.
Heather is currently continuing education in sustainability focused on water and energy:
2007 Certificate in Sustainable
Technology and Management - two year program, Arizona State University
1994 Master of Environmental Planning, Arizona State University
1984 Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, University of Arizona
Registered Landscape Architect, Arizona, Nevada and Certified Nationally

She has also written two books:
