Justin & Annie Stegg Gerard
Annie Stegg Gerard is an oil painter deeply inspired by the 18th-century Rococo masters. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and featured in projects for notable clients such as Disney, Hasbro, Wizards of the Coast, Easton Press, Netflix, and HarperCollins, among others. Her pieces are treasured in private collections around the world.
Justin Gerard, inspired by nature, mythology, and classic Disney films, has built a career painting imaginative creatures, malevolent dragons, terrible monsters, and the brave heroes who battle them. His narrative-driven artwork have taken him through classics such as Beowulf, King Arthur, St. George, and The Hobbit, and off into modern fantasy worlds of Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons.
In November 2013, Justin and Annie Stegg Gerard founded Gallery Gerard, a premier studio based in Georgia that specializes in fine art and narrative illustration for the publishing, gaming, and film industries.
