 
Nene Tina Thomas began her professional
career in 1994, when she was approached by Wizards of
the Coast to contribute work to the popular card game
"Magic: the Gathering." Her work with Wizards of the
Coast can still be seen in the Fourth and Fifth
Expansions, Antiquities, Legends, The Dark, Homelands
and the new "Magic: The Gathering" CD ROM Game. Some of
the other card games that feature her work are
Shadowfist, Legend of the Five Rings, Galactic Empires,
Tempest of the Gods, Wyrmwars, Gridiron, Vampire: The
Eternal Struggle, Xenophiles, and Battlelords of the
23rd Century.
Although Nene is known best for her work with
watercolors, she has recently begun to expand her
artistic horizons with other media, including digital.
But no matter what media is used, the core elements of
her art remain constant: her characters have grace and
elegance, her settings are striking, and the images as a
whole are breathtaking. Nene's greatest artistic
ambition is to be able to perfectly capture an image
that she has in her mind's eye on paper.
Over the last two years, Nene has had the good fortune
to see her art translated into a variety of products,
including statues, ornaments, stickers, and t-shirts.
Her many products can be seen in several catalogues, in
retail outlets throughout the country, or on her
website. The retail success of her art hasn't changed
her focus however, and with each new piece she strives
to push herself as an artist.
Nene currently lives in Oklahoma City with her husband
Steven Plagman, who is also her framer and fancy mat
cutter. Nene spends her days sketching, researching,
painting and playing with her five cats: Snowmane,
Amber, Blackfel, Leilani and Night Shade. She has three
sisters and two brothers, all of them artistic and
musically talented. She doesn't smoke, drink, swear, or
gamble - but she is horribly addicted to ice skating,
The Sims 2, and collecting, displaying and sewing
beautiful outfits for her beautiful Asian ball jointed
dolls. Aw, no one's perfect! Nene has written a few
tutorials for Photoshop. |
