Having drawn since she could hold a crayon, Kythera of Anevern (aka Cithrúadh dubán)bis a self-taught artist who revels in the strange and unusual. Dragons and other fantastic creatures are staples of her work, and her hobbies include role-playing, "macho knitting" making chainmail, and dressing up as a pirate or Viking at local Renaissance Faires. She takes private commissions as her schedule allows, having designed a handful of logos for small businesses and contributed illustrations for various role-playing game books. She also displays her work at fantasy and animation conventions, including the annual Gathering of the Gargoyles, where she has won many awards. She received her BFA in Intermedia from Arizona State University and currently lives in Los Angeles with a host of dragon and gargoyle statues--and one very needy cat.
