"Into The Woods" Imagining characters walking through a place like this. There are birds they have seen before and some they have not. Trying out some different colors.

A visit to The Lighthouse Inn at Aransas Bay and watching the dolphins sparked the idea for this painting. The Inn was rebuilt after being devastated by Hurricane Harvey.

I created this in Alyssa Zarate’s Women in Animation Matte Painting and Background Art for the Entertainment Industry Circle. I hope to use this in a personal project called “Guardian Rescue: Nera’s Story.” The mentorship circle with Alyssa has been a wonderful experience for me.

Another collaboration on matching styles with talented Tiffany Pham on sky and me on foreground. This was through Alyssa Zarate’s Women in Animation Matte Painting and Background Art for the Entertainment Industry Circle. This painting was inspired by the colorful flags in Market Square - San Antonio, Texas.
