Artist Statement
I find that within animation, character design and creature design are some of my favorite steps in the pipeline. I have a love for the imaginary and non-tangible, leading me to create whimsical, captivating creatures. I am beginning to discover a love for strong color palettes in tandem with design, finding inspiration from films such as Wolf Walkers, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron, and Into/Across the Spiderverse. I feel the same surge of excitement rise within me every time I see these films grace the screen due to their fantastic use of bold colors and distinct character designs. I aspire to create works that follow in the footsteps of remarkable design and color choices by these films.
I am a creative, it is a core part of who I am and what drives me to explore life. It pushes me to new heights, seeing new and different types of locations to incorporate into my work on the way. I find myself wanting to add a touch of magic to my world, and I do that by creating works that contain it. I create that same feeling of wonder I have always had about my surroundings in a visual medium.
