Bio
I am an independent animator and artist. I graduated from the University of Newcastle, Australia, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) degree. I am also the Assistant Director of the Melbourne International Animation Festival.
As a practicing artist, I specialise in drawing and 2D animation. However, I also have experience and the skills for painting, photography, installation, video art and editing, composing and recording music, fiction writing, sculpture, design and curating.
Working at the animation festival, I have to opportunity to see the best new independent animations, meet and speak with many relevant animators, curate film screenings, organise and chair presentations and talks, and attend conferences and research trips. My Fine Arts background helps me understand the history of western art and how to analyse these films with a fair sense of judgment.
