Terese Nielsen (born in Aurora, Nebraska, 1966) is a California-based freelance fantasy artist. She graduated from the Art Center College of Design in April 1991. She has gained a fan following mainly because of her illustrations for the trading card game . Nielsen has produced art for both Magic and Wizards of the Coast's other products since 1996, in addition to her work as an illustrator of book covers and movie posters. She is the sister of long-time Magic artist Ron Spencer.

Angel Quest

In 2005 Terese was asked by Brian and Alex Tinsman the founders of Angel Quest, to design, art direct and illustrate a set of 100 cards suggesting 100 random acts of kindness to perform. Some of the quests are as simple as smiling or giving someone a hug and some require more time such as picking up trash in your neighborhood or writing a letter to an individual that has made a difference in your life.

Angel Quest is the first project in which my talents, heart and soul completely converged in a profoundly fulfilling way.

Extreme Alteration

One service provided by Terese to her Magic the Gathering fans is an "Extreme Alteration" where she will radically alter the card by painting over it. These works have been collected and 2 series of posters displaying the altered cards are currently selling on her website.
