Many artists are inspired by the animal world, but V. Steiner chose to focus on species that often go overlooked. Her paintings celebrate the overlooked beauty of animals that aren’t beloved by most people, starting with reptiles.
V. Steiner is the alter ego of the painter and illustrator Veronica, who was born and raised in Florida. She’s been very artistic from a young age and now enjoys working with many different mediums, from watercolors to acrylics and oil paintings.
In addition to not limiting herself in terms of her artistic style, Steiner also enjoys exploring all sorts of different subjects in her body of work. Her love for nature is definitely her biggest source of inspiration, and her love for animals shines through in each of her paintings.
When Steiner decided to embark on her artistic journey, she decided to spotlight animals that typically aren’t seen as beautiful. Reptiles quickly became her biggest source of inspiration, and she paid homage to many different species through her art.
From alligators and armadillos to turtles, toads, and snakes, Steiner captured the underrated beauty of many reptiles through her paintings. She even transformed some of her best illustrations into magnets, pins, stickers, and more.
