Most of my inspiration comes from the films of Tim Burton like the Corspe Bride.
Becca Golins started Dragons and Beasties in 2010. Her art style is highly influenced by everything she loved most growing up: Lisa Frank, cartoons, anime, Disney, and comics. The more color, the better! As a child, it was abundantly clear that Becca would have a career in art someday. Every scrap of paper was destined for dragon doodles, all school note margins packed with mythical beasts. Her passion for fantasy creatures started young and only burned brighter as she grew to adulthood. Dragons are her main focus these days, and she is very well known for her highly sought-after clay sculptures. She’s built a fiercely loyal following over the years, allowing her to become a full-time artist and creator. She often posts timelapse videos of her working on sculptures and drawings on her social media pages to encourage other growing artists and share her process. She lives a quiet, happy life with her little girl, 2 pet rats, and husband in Utah. Together, Becca and her husband run her thriving art business Dragons and Beasties, which has now expanded into vinyl figures, coloring books, enamel pins, and other collectibles featuring her art. The sole purpose of her creations is to bring light and joy to all those who see it, just happy little beasties that want to brighten your day and warm your heart!
