Explore fantastical art paintings, drawings, and mixed media art by Melissa A Benson. Beautiful Original Art and Prints of Pagan, Fantasy, and gaming art on Fine art paper, Canvas, and metal media!
I specialize in fantasy, anthropomorphic creatures and Pagan themes. You'll see these subjects represented with natural forms, Celtic elements, and bold colors in a realistic style.
I believe that art is one of the great necessities of life. I am an artist. And this is what I do.
I have been a professional illustrator for over 25 years. The vintage flaming Nightmare from Magic: the Gathering is one of my designs. I created other iconic characters for the game as well. Re-creation commissions of these characters are still very popular to this day.
This site will show you beautiful, fascinating original artwork. Art enhances all your life experiences. You will see great informative discussions. Many of these great designs on collectible merchandise are in my Print-on-Demand shops.
Current personal projects are shown on the "Works in Progress" page nested in the About menu. I update this page as often as I can. So explore this site and let me know what you think and what you'd like to see here. I'm always looking for good content that you will find interesting.
