Nikki Chapman

I would like to be a story artist and director.

My name is Nikki Chapman and I am a 23 year old animator from South Bend, Indiana. My mother is a doctor and my dad is an art teacher and puppeteer, so I grew up in a household where creativity and hard work were encouraged. As a kid I constantly drew comics and passed them around the classroom. Originally, I wanted to be a comic book artist, but when I saw the film ParaNorman in high school, I dedicated my life to animation. I went to Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan
