Summary
I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Emerging Media. My main focus is in 2D animation, but I also have experience in 3D animation using Maya. I am proficient in Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Suite, Autodesk Maya, and I have experience in HTML5 and Unity.
Artist Statement:
With the ever-growing encroachment of modern civilization on nature, I fear that later generations won’t be able to experience the beauty of nature. With my art, I not only tell tales of people living in harmony with nature, but also the depressing toll encroachment has on the environment. My goal is to inspire the viewer so they can be fascinated with nature and develop an appreciation for the great outdoors.
