ABOUT

Rebecca Magar Artist

Rebecca Magar

Rebecca Magar has been weaving her artistic narrative since 1985. Nestled in the small town of Yoe, Pennsylvania, she draws from the imaginative tales and eerie allure of the underground metal scene. Her creative odyssey, untethered by the formal rigors of fine arts education, began in the pastoral settings of a York County farm. Here, as a homeschooled child, she nurtured her passion for the fantastical and macabre.

Rebecca’s artistic repertoire includes crafting album covers, posters, and promotional materials for bands, illustrating book covers, and creating illustrations for Spirit Halloween stores. Her works can be found in such publications as Infected by Art and Heavy Music Artwork.

Rebecca’s work represents a life devoted to the confluence of visual art and music, forming a vibrant tapestry that weaves together elements of dark fantasy and heavy metal. Her artistic voice resonates deeply within these cultures, mirroring their most profound sentiments. As she explores the ever-evolving terrains of her artistic pursuits, Rebecca stands as a beacon in the dark fantasy art domain. Her aim is not just to create art but to capture and embody the very essence of fantasy and the soul of dark alternative subculture.
