Rococo-inspired Fantasy Paintings By Annie Stegg Gerard, Conjuring Mythic Maidens And Lush Hidden Worlds

Annie Stegg Gerard is a Georgia-based oil painter and illustrator with a career spanning games, publishing, and fine art exhibitions, inspired by Rococo masters like Boucher, Fragonard, and 18th-century fantasy illustrators.
