In short you might say that April Solomon is a Dragon Specialist. Her meticulous creature designs are mostly inspired by the clever and concise understanding of anatomy, animals, plants, and other organic textures. This observational approach lends to the believability within her work known as  “fantastic realism.”

Having received international recognition for her award winning illustrations, she has freelanced for companies such as Chaosium, Hitpoint Press, Galaxy Press Publishing and DCD Collectables. April travels to conventions in the United States where she sells her original work to patrons and collectors for both private and public galleries like the one at her college known as the Laguna College of Art and Design. 

When she is not painting, she enjoys embracing the realm of nature, lifting weights, running, or exploring haunted house attractions during her favorite season in October.

"Art is the sincere intention to research nature in all its natural glory, to gather ideas and inspiration for the betterment of bringing to life something new and fantastical."

~ April Solomon
