Hello, I’m Nina Bolen, an illustrator and artist who loves to explore fantasy worlds intertwined with real wildlife. I aim to capture emotional nuance in the creatures we observe, using bold colors, dynamic brushwork, and a mix of media—from watercolors and acrylics to digital painting and clay—depending on the mood I want to convey. My work celebrates beauty in all animals, including reptiles often overlooked, and invites viewers to feel the wonder I experience while creating. I live in East Texas with my husband and a lively household of animals, balancing care for them with making art. I’m best known for wildlife art and whimsical fantasy creations featuring dragons and other mythical beings, which have appeared in notable publications and gallery showings. I’ve published coloring books, an Oracle deck, and developed a line of dragon-themed collectibles, with exhibitions at multiple galleries across the U.S. My art practice also extends into design and licensing, including packaging and product design for collectibles.…Hello, I’m Nina Bolen, an illustrator and artist who loves to explore fantasy worlds intertwined with real wildlife.
