I never imagined when I joined Wendell and Wild as Matte Painting Supervisor that I would soon be stepping into the role of VFX Supervisor in the insane months wrapping up production. The visual effects on over 1300 shots were done, or reimagined entirely in the last 6 months of production and we had artists working remotely all over the globe to help bring Henry's vision to life. All the work has paid off and this film is spectacular. There is something simply magical and refreshing to work on such a handcrafted film with such amazing stop motion artists. Working on this film felt like what I dreamed working on movies would be when I was young. I have such immense respect for all the animators, fabricators, artists and vendors we worked with. I am grateful I got to work on Henry Selick's film, grateful for the opportunity I had as VFX Sup and artist and grateful to have worked with such a talented team. I couldn't be more proud to share this trailer and I hope you can't wait to see it on Netflix Oct. 28th.

After all the months of zoom meetings with Henry and the crew, we finally got to meet in person after the premiere of Wendell & Wild. This project is one I'll never forget, and it was amazing to see it all put together! Remote working is great, but getting to appreciate the team in person is fantastic.

Another amazing clip has released from #wendellandwild. This October is the perfect time to watch Kat in this hand crafted film. Working with the team on this film has been everything I imagined filmmaking could be as a kid. #girlsinanimation #henryselick #netflix #stopmotion #vfxsupervisor
What an incredible journey this show has been. It's my first time as a digital/vfx sup and my first stop motion feature. I can't wait for everyone to see this movie. #wendellandwild #netflixanimation #womeninanimation
Thanks so much to @jars.arts for beautifully capturing our incredible family summer "workcation" in LA. I am in love with this beautifully rendered memory and all the thought and details you captured!
I had another amazing summer getting to work on #disneysencanto. This time I worked from my home in Clarksville, TN with all the work from home chaos. This movie is so moving and amazing, but even more beautiful on the big screen. If you have a chance, you have to see all the details in the theater that the look development put into the film, like the embroidery on Mirabels outfit, or even the hairs on the back of Luisa's neck.
I'm so proud to have contributed to the set extension of this film and to join the insanely talented set extension team. When you watch the film, look out for some of those stormy overcast background skies. They originated as photos from my back deck before a Tennessee rain storm. #mattepainting #setextension #encanto
I was so excited to get these #Encanto crew gifts from #disneyanimation. This film is so beautiful, and the crew is so talented. The #setextension team is amazing, and I was so happy I got to join in helping with another fantastic Disney feature. #mattepainting every summer with Disney is a little extra magical.
Happy Halloween! Here's a painting I created for a quick demo in my digital painting class. I spent some more time after class finishing it up, and had a lot of fun creating monster light studies with my students and adding color after. #digitalpainting #halloween #brideoffrankenstein #digitalart #adobephotoshop #universalmonsters
The new trailer for #disneysencanto is out and I spy a few of my skies! Thanks to the team @disneyanimation for allowing me to join them again (this time from my home in Tennessee!).
It doesnt seem that long ago that I was working on paintings for the #happilyeverafterfireworks show. Tonight it will run for the last time. I'm so glad I got to see with the family in August. It was a very emotional experience. Thanks to #mousetrappe for the amazing visuals and opportunity to help.

My first ever matte painting consultant credit. I'm so happy to finally see it streaming on #netflix #girlsinanimation #freelancelife #Bouldermedia #MyLittlePonyANewGen
I'm so excited that today you can finally stream a project I got to work on. Back in 2019 I was hired as a matte painting consultant to help set up a new matte painting pipeline and department workflow. I got to test out that workflow on a couple of early sequences, and it was a joy to see it finally with my family. Congrats to the matte painters and the team at #bouldermedia 🎬#MyLittlePonyANewGen is available on Netflix ! 🦄
