Beth Trott is a freelance artiest who's been drawing since she was two years old and began taking private watercolor lessons when she was ten. At the age of fifteen I started taking classical figure drawing classes at "The Art League" in Alexandria, VA. From there she went to the George Washington University, having received the presidential art scholarship as well as several local art scholarships. After her four years of Fine Art and Art History college study her first illustrative work was published by Harper Collins in 1999. In December of 1999, she opened a retail game store in Maryland. The demands of owning and operating a small business did not allow her to further pursue my art career until late 2001 at which time I became a part-time freelance illustrator. Eventually, the demands of being a small business owner and a part time illustrator forced her to make a choice and in 2004 she became a full time freelance illustrator, selling her portion of the store to her business partner, and has continued to expand her clientel from the fantasy gaming industry to children's books as well. As an artist she has a diverse range of skills. She is able to work in a number of different mediums. Her watercolors have been the most prolifically published but she has had digital media, oils, graphite and pen & ink works published as well. She can work with a variety of materials and always looks forward to a challenge when it comes to subject matter. She also understands the important balance of quality and timeliness. She takes a client's time very seriously and produces high quality images within very tight deadlines. As a full time freelancer she is always available to address clients questions or concerns. She believes in communication and professionalism and strives to maintain a high standard with all of her projects, big or small.
