Vonnie Winslow Crist

I've been drawing and painting since I was a child. Though I've drawn/painted hundreds of illustrations for "The Vegetarian Journal" & other Vegetarian Resource Group publications and various cookbooks from Prima Publications (like "Lean & Luscious") -- Speculative Art has always been the art closest to my heart.

The images below represent a sample of my artwork currently available for publication. Some of the art has been previously published (in whole or part), some of the images have never been published. (But I still hold publication rights to all the images). 

For more of my art, check out my other galleries.

Art directors/editors can contact me for more information about these images or about future assignments.

And readers, I'd love to read your comments about my art!

About the Images

These are just a sample of the images that begin with a garden flower, a sandy beach, or a starlit sky. Imagination and daydreaming help me find the magical in the everyday. I hope you're able to see the wondrous all around you, too.
