Stephanie Shimerdla

Freelance Digital Illustrator

North Port, FL, USA
In my personal work, I have two areas of interest: my emotive paintings, in which I strive to show everyday emotions and situations in a new light - and my start was in fantasy and science fiction artwork.

I am looking to work as a concept artist, CCG/RPG illustrator, on book covers, and any other professional illustration work.
