WORK

I love teaching animation workshops for all ages and stages, from art colleges to after-school programs. Pictured is an animation storytelling workshop I created for the NYC-based organization, Girls Write Now, that teaches comprehensive writing skills to high-schoolers.

Anne paints at the animation stand, doing an under-camera animation technique called "paint-on-glass." Instead of glass, Anne is using Yupo paper which is sturdy yet light, and can be layered.

Learn how to protect your hearing in this TED Ed Animation lesson I animated, directed and sound designed! I consulted with audiologist, Heather Malyuk of Soundcheck Audiology, to get the most accurate info and helpful tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R307w05iJc

I made this animated motion graphic for the New York Times in 2015, illustrating a Paganini caprice for violin.

I studied yoga poses to create this sequence, commissioned by a feature documentary film called The Goddess Project.

I apply watercolor animation and other handmade techniques in a variety of contexts. Don’t be shy; send me a message via email or my intake form on my ‘Contact’ page.

Jeremiah, Pilar, and I filled in for the great Georges Schwizgebel on an Animation Speakeasy panel, when Schwizgebel was denied entry to the United States at the last minute.

‘Animation Speak/Easy’ is a beloved community animation event in Brooklyn, NY hosted by Anna Samo, Lisa LaBracio, and Andy London bi-monthly. 3 guest filmmakers present a favorite film that has inspired their art practice (made by another filmmaker). Photo by Michael Dondero.
