Elizabeth is a professional miniature artist living with three cats and her fiance, who puts up with paint brushes sitting around the house. She's been painting miniatures for about two years now and I loves bringing her characters to life. There's nothing better than sitting down to a game of D&D with some wonderfully painted mini's to vanquish evil monsters!
When not painting, she attends college as a fine arts student with a concentration in ceramics. She also spends a lot of my time outdoors, that's the best place to find new and interesting basing materials.
Tim has been a staple of Reaper Miniatures for many years and is a recipient of their coveted Hall of Fame award.
