I’m Sharon Wegner-Larsen, the creator behind OMEGAFAUNA.
I’m an artist, illustrator, and designer. I work out of my home studio in Florida, USA.
I’ve been drawing and creating for my entire life.
As a child, I drew constantly. I just couldn’t get enough of it. I never wanted to stop!
So I didn’t. In 2011, I graduated from the University of South Dakota with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I specialized in painting and graphic design.
Today, I work as a freelance artist in a whole variety of mediums: ink, watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, marker, and digital paint.
I’ve been slightly obsessed with drawing epic megafauna, like dinosaurs and whales, since I was a kid. Some things never change! I used the online moniker Omegafauna for many years, and the name stuck when I opened my first art shop online. Eventually I fully adopted it as my “brand” name.
The feeling of freedom, joy, and escape that comes from being fully immersed in the process of creating is something that I’ve never grown out of wanting to experience every day. I hope to encourage others to pick up their art supplies again as adults and try out this rewarding practice for themselves. 💚
