Little medusa painting of mine from the other day, I wanted to give this one it’s own post🐍✨There are a few process images in the thread below, if people are curious😊
Happy new years! I want to share one of my favourites from 2021, this little portrait of Medusa. This last year I’ve spent a lot of time exploring what kind of personal work I want to do, and this was the first painting to come out of that 🐍💜
I’ve been interested in fantasy-esque sci-fi lately, so here’s a high elf! I was inspired by smart tattoos, and wanted to explore the idea of technology that could be both a utility and beautiful 😊
I’m very excited to say that my Medusa portrait won the Smarter Art School art prize juried by Rob Jones! It's an honor to be selected, especially with a piece that's so important to me😊
Close up detail from my painting about invisible disability. I like to keep my brushstrokes painty looking, which I did here mainly by using broken colour. 🖤
My Medusa Portrait made it into Infected by Art 10! This is one of the first paintings I did just for myself, so I’m excited to be included with a piece that’s so special to me 🥰
I've made big steps forward this year in my personal and profession artwork and I'm really proud of myself. I'm excited to share even more with you next year 🖤
I’m super excited to share my very first Magic: the Gathering card, Bereaved Survivor! I love Innistrad, so this was a blast to work on. I’ll post the other side soon 🥰🖤 AD: Taylor Ingvarsson

My name is Zara, and I'm an artist that just started working on MtG! I also study a lot in my free time, and I'm currently exploring what kind of personal work I want to do 😊
Here’s Novice Occultist, another card I painted for MtG Midnight Hunt and one of my personal favourites! I got to paint a young girl dabbling in the occult for the first time (you’re supposed to use steaks right?) AD: Cynthia Sheppard

! My name is Zara, and I'm an artist working primarily for video games and MtG 😊 Painting strong and crafty women is one of my favorite things! I snuck a new painting in there too ✨
It's been quite the year! My first magic cards came out, I've been exploring more personal art, and I've leaned into my love for the colour purple 😊

Eye detail from my painting ‘Blue & Gold’. I like to put little details in my painting that are sometimes hard to see, here she has a little blue lens her eye 🖤
Hello

, I'm Zara and I'm good with colour, painting people, and I love to depicting things in motion! Most of my new work is under NDA, but here are some of my favourites that I can share🥰
I'm excited to share my very first oil painting original for Magic: The Gathering! My Wispdrinker Vampire for the latest MtG set Murders at Karlov Manor 🥰🖤
I’m excited to share my first spell card Slip Out the Back for MtG Streets of New Capenna! 🖤 I wanted to give her the air of a devilish trickster, tipping her hat just enough to reveal some tiny horns. AD: Cynthia Sheppard

I’m excited to share that my painting Stasis is the cover of this month’s Uncanny Magazine, and was also featured on Beautiful Bizarre! 😊

-large client wanted me to work for under minimum wage

#MTGDMU
Those pieces where you can tell an artist has put so much of themselves and their own experiences into their work are my favorite things🖤
#HumanArtists
Nature’s Aegis, a piece I did for the amazing Winona Nelson's smart school class! I definitely learned a lot with this piece, and I’m excited to share more of my work
I’m really excited to share that I’m going to be working on MtG! So many artists I look up to work with WotC, and I’m excited to be a part of it! 😊
