Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I was searching for a work field that I would enjoy the most. At the time I was around 20 years old and while playing guild wars 2 I thought about what it would be like to be a concept artist. This started my passion for creating worlds and telling stories in a visual form. I fell in love with the media and how fun it was to create, so I have worked as hard as I can to get to where I am today.
Back to my college, I found myself have huge interest in animation. And during my college, I keep explore myself, then I figure I like 3D animation more than 2D animation. So I want to enhance my ability, then I entered sheridan college to study one year visual effect program, and I realize becoming fx artist is what my passion.
I am a visual artist fascinated with filmmaking and the VFX industry. I recently completed the Graduate Certificate in VFX and Computer Animation programs at Sheridan College, studying CGI and VFX filmmaking: filming, lighting, compositing, animating, modeling, rigging, and texturing in Maya, Houdini, Nuke, Substance Painter, Zbrush, and Nuke.
I am 36 years old and have had a full career in theater. I started with stop motion as a hobby and moved into visual effects. Once I started doing 3D animation I knew that it was what I wanted to peruse full time. My career in theater comes in very handy as an animator. I am able to use that experience in acting and performance and bring it to my characters.
I've always had a passion for art! My mother would tell me she always knew I would be an artist because I was always drawing since the age of 2. Since then I've always been doodling in my notebooks in class. Eventually I pursued animation at the University of Technology Jamaica, then I decided to leave my home country and further my studies at Sheridan College in Canada where I currently reside.
My passion for the creative industries began with sketching and experimenting as a child. Design's power to communicate and shape experiences fascinated me, leading me to pursue it as a profession. I'm driven by bringing ideas to life, making a positive impact, and contributing my unique perspective and skills. The dynamic nature of this field excites me, pushing me to continuously learn, adapt, and push creative boundaries.
I realized that I wanted to work in the creative field when I was watching anime as a kid. I was immersed in their worlds and their adventures inspired me to create my own stories and characters. I did not know about concept art as a job back then, but I already knew that this type of work was what I desired.
As a kid, I loved creating stop-motion animation films. My parents encouraged me to submit to film festivals and that experience took me to so many new places in my life I never would have discovered otherwise. After undergrad, I attended the Gobelins summer school program and decided the animation industry was where I wanted to be. I love the art, I love the communities I've met through animation, and I love the endless opportunities to learn!
