A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Biography
Hello, I am a multimedia who is currently an Experimental Animation student at OCAD University. My specialty is stop-motion and 2D Animation. I am a huge animation fan, from mainstream to indie. I usually work with themes of identity and nostalgia or experiment with mixed-media animation.
I am currently working on my thesis film about the connection hair and Black-Canadian community, check out the finished film at GRADEX at OCAD University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
My long-term goal is to have a multimedia animation production studio. As a young black woman I want to support the stories and experiences of others in animated spaces.
ABOUT MY PROCESS
My Work
As an artist, I use animation to express a variety themes, for example: identity, escapism, nostalgia, etc. I enjoy working with themes that can be explored deeply, which means different approaches to ideas and pushing the limits of my imagination.
My practice includes 2d animation and Stop-motion animation.
I want to incorporate more mixed media approaches to my artwork. At the moment, I do not have a specific target audience, I enjoy making art for all audiences.
I get my influences from surrealists themes, graphic novels and indie animation culture.
WHEREABOUTS
Ontario, Canada
I grew up in southern Ontario in suburbia. Many of my ideas come from long walks in parks. I am able to work in-person depending on the location but working remotely would be more accessible for me.
