Janny Wurts is an accomplished, award-winning painter whose artwork has been celebrated for its imaginative depth and immersive quality. Self-taught and working directly from imagination, she creates scenes that blur the line between dream and reality, bringing characters and worlds to life with a uniquely representational style. Her paintings, including the cover art for her own novels, merge narrative and visual storytelling, offering a seamless interface between words and images and inviting viewers into fully realised fantastical realms. Wurts’ work has been exhibited in prominent venues, including NASA’s 25th Anniversary, The Art of the Cosmos at the Hayden Planetarium, and fantasy art exhibitions at the Delaware and Canton Art Museums.

Alongside her artistic achievements, Wurts is also a celebrated fantasy author, with twenty novels and thirty-six short stories and novellas to her name, including the internationally bestselling Empire Trilogy, co-authored with Raymond E. Feist, and the long-running Wars of Light and Shadow series.
