With my work I strive to create interesting worlds and characters and enjoy the ability to share them with others through art. I believe Art has the power to inspire, provoke, heal, challenge and even offer hope to others. It can also provide a new and interesting perspective.

About Me

My name is Tanya Varga, I’m a digital artist and I attended the Academy of Art University where I studied 2D Illustration/Animation and Advertising. I currently work as a freelance digital artist and graphics designer and have also done oil portrait commissions.

I have worked with traditional mediums, such as oil and charcoal, most of my life and discovered digital painting a few years ago and have loved it since. I am completely self-taught when it comes to digital painting and have picked up my experience from a lot of experimentation and practice. Aside from digital art I also enjoy doing many other things in my free time that allow me to be creative such as sewing and cake decorating etc. I also love nature & animals and really enjoy going hiking and bike riding with my husband.

I’m a huge Star Trek, Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead fan. I love art, science, music and movies of all kinds, I especially enjoy mind-bending films. My favorite directors are Darren Aronofsky, Cameron Crowe, Ang Lee, Lars Von Trier, James Cameron, Panos Cosmatos, Tim Burton, Alfonso Cuaron, Ridley Scott and many others.

Originally from California I now live in Washington State with my husband, and daughter.

What I love most about art is that it gives me the chance to bring ideas to life.

Though I am open to commissions (if the right opportunity comes along) my main focus now is primarily as a print artist.
