Disney Fine Art is a term used to describe works of art portraying Disney Characters, painted by professional artists who are often animators, background artists, or production designers.

Disney Fine Art is solely published by Collectors Editions, a California based company that, in 2003, was granted the exclusive rights to publish the Salvador Dalí artwork from the Academy Award nominee for animated short-film, Destino, Dalí's only collaboration with Walt Disney.

Mike Kungl is an American painter of Disney Fine Art who has also worked as a graphic designer on many multinational advertising campaigns for companies like Panasonic, Johnson & Johnson, Toshiba, Sony, Warner Bros. Television and Bank of America.

Kungl has come a long way since when he used to "use the family sofa as his canvas and his mother's lipstick as his paint," but even then he knew he wanted to be an artist. Nowadays, he paints on canvas and admits to spending an inordinate amount of time designing the piece before actually beginning to paint it. So therefore, it is a prerequisite that he be very much excited about whatever it is he's working on:

I strive to produce work that I'm personally going to have fun designing and painting...when it's complete, my goal is having the audience be just as entertained looking at it as I was creating it.

He also uses chrome and metallic elements to lend his paintings a certain Art Deco feel. He has mastered this technique so well that in 2002, Kungl was given the honor of creating the official artwork for Miami Beach's 25th Annual Art Deco Weekend.

Fred "Toby" Bluth is an American who has worked on many Disney films and others as animator, Background artist and Production designer. He has also had a long career writing and illustrating Children’s Books, not to mention performing and or directing, nearly one hundred musicals, both on Broadway and off.

Bluth’s artwork is prominently displayed at most of the Disney theme parks around the world. He is currently traveling on the Disney Cruise Line, showing off his talent for crowds of all ages.

He is younger brother of Don Bluth, who he has collaborated on both theater and animation.

Bluth notes Gustaf Tengrenn, whom Walt Disney actively recruited to work on the breakthrough film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as being a big inspiration throughout his career.

When asked how he approaches each of his watercolor masterpieces, Toby describes his intent as, "Creating the moment that you think you saw . . . How one remembers a film is often different from the actual film itself."

The use of chiaroscuro is apparent in Bluth's work. These subtle variations of light and shade create depth, life and warm, yet cool shadows to each scene. This lends a heightened delineation of character and allows his subjects much more of a unique, almost animated, existence within the painting.

Tim Rogerson is an American painter of Disney Fine Art who was an official artist of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy.

Born in Kissimmee, Florida, Tim grew up very close to Walt Disney World. In fact, his father worked there as Show Director (the position responsible for managing and maintaining all of the live performances in the park) until the family moved to North Carolina.

Eventually, however, Tim was able to move back to Florida and attended the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, where he majored in illustration. When asked about his time at art school, Tim says:

I was a very traditional art student and explored all works; from the old masters to modern art. My influences include Degas and John Singer Sargent...their work has allowed me to push the envelope with my own abstraction of life.

While studying at Ringling, Rogerson was awarded the 2003 Best Painter Award and in 2003 and 2004, he was awarded the Best of Ringling Award.

Rogerson's latest honor was awarded to him by the 2006 Winter Olympic Committee when they made him one of only a handful of Official Olympic Artists. When asked about the painting, "US Olympic Winter Team 2006," he says,

William "Peter" Ellenshaw (May 24, 1913 - February 12, 2007) was an Anglo-American matte designer and special effects creator who worked on many Disney features.

His first worked in matte painting for producer Alexander Korda on such films as Things to Come (1936), and later on such Powell and Pressburger productions as Black Narcissus (1947) assisting his mentor W. (Walter) Percy Day. A few years later, while still based in Europe, he began to work for Hollywood studios. He worked for MGM on Quo Vadis (1951), but his most extensive association was with Walt Disney Studios beginning with their first completely live action feature film, Treasure Island (1950). He went on to work on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) and Mary Poppins (1964), for which he won an Academy Award. He retired after his work on The Black Hole (1979), but contributed matte paintings for Dick Tracy (1990). His son Harrison is also an Academy Award-winning effects designer.

After Peter Ellenshaw retired from the film business, he dedicated his life to his passion for fine art painting. Numerous works were created, of both Disney Fine Art and non-Disney themed subjects, which have been highly collected. He was named a Disney Legend in 1993.
