Creatively, I have always been torn between art and music, and animation is my answer. In my 20 years working in the animation business, I have seen animation basically go from a cel / film-based art form to a digital medium. No matter what approach is taken, we must always remember it is the content that makes animation memorable. I like to mix traditional techniques and digital techniques. I enjoy abstracting images and making the audience think twice about what they are seeing. Teaching has given me a creative jumpstart and has opened me up to new ways of approaching animation. The students' enthusiasm certainly is infectious. I am creating animations and video projects not just for clients, but for myself now."
