Esther Schweinberg is a professional illustrator with a focus on fantasy illustration and traditional oil painting. With a BFA from the University of Hartford and minors in animation and art history, she brings a deep understanding of the art world and how to adapt the stories her clients want to portray.

Esther Schweinberg grew up in rural New Jersey, where she still predominantly works. The quiet environment during these early years served to encourage her desire to draw and paint the things around her. Though eventually this passive environment fueled her to focus on subjects that lay only in the imagination. Fantastical creatures found their way into her paintings, as well as settings and places she had never seen before.
