Artist Statement

My love for animation in art has always been one that is story-based, one that is shown through a sequence of events swaying the viewer’s heart. The best method to do this was through animation, whether it be 2D or 3D. Melding together my love for writing and motion graphics spawned my strange taste for eccentric tales told through interesting character design and environments. I often find myself coming back to both my writing and animation narratives that are endearing and charming in nature but have foreboding and unsettling undertones. My artwork often reveals simple melancholic themes through the juxtaposition between what is being viewed and the subtle tones that can be inferred through the story. I want to reflect on life as I see it, and while it may sometimes be dark, it is often done in a whimsical way.
