Cynthia Conner is a Texas-based artist and illustrator with a love for magical creatures and characters. She pulls her inspiration from the natural world as much as from fantasy stories, and uses her art to marry the two, bringing whimsy to her animals, and realism to her mythical beasts. She has done work for 78 Tarot and is an official artist for the Texas Renaissance Festival. When she isn't looking for any excuse to draw unicorns, she can be found reading, knitting, or zoning out to a good puzzle.
