I’m a fantasy artist worldbuilding a realm centered around the fae.

Hi! My name’s Malina.

I’ve painted almost a hundred fairies in the last couple years, and have compiled some of them into prints reminiscent of vintage encyclopedia illustrations and field guide pages. Now I’m taking this journey further, and am expanding my fae into a world-building project.
