Kate Kneebone Art Portfolio

Hi, I'm Kate! I'm a Background Colour and Visual Development Artist from Adelaide, Australia, with over 5 years experience working in TV Animation. I'm passionate about painting and working with light and colour to bring stories to life.

I've spent the last year working as a Background Colour Designer, doing Colour Scripts, Colour Thumbs and Colour Roughs on 'Hazbin Hotel' Season 2 at Princess Bento Studios.

I spent 2023 working as a Background Painter on new series, 'Invincible Fight Girl' at Cartoon Network Studios, where I had the opportunity to work on Mastershots and help design the colour and lighting under the direction of my Art Director.

Previously I have worked with Flying Bark Productions, Titmouse, Chalkdust Animation and L7 Pictures. I have experience working as a Visual Development Artist, Background Painter, Colour Key Artist and Environment Designer, which have provided me with skills in designing and developing the visual style, colour palettes and lighting for both 2D and CG Animation.

I’m passionate about continuing to learn and hone my skills. I have recently completed an Environment Design class with Nathan Fowkes and a Visual Development mentorship with Yuhki Demers. I have a Bachelors Degree in Film and Creative Writing at Griffith University in Australia.

I'm available from February 2025 for in-house, remote and freelance opportunities and qualify for an E3 Visa to work in the US.
