Hi, I'm Kate! I'm a Background Paint, Colour Key and Visual Development Artist from Adelaide, Australia, with over 5 years experience working in Animation. I'm passionate about painting and working with light and colour to bring stories to life.
For the last few years I've been working as a Background Colour Designer, developing the colour and lighting design for sets/locations, creating Colour Scripts, Colour Thumbs and Colour Roughs. I organise the design element files so that these colour and lighting choices can easily be implemented by the episodic artists further down the pipeline.

I have worked with Cartoon Network Studios, Princess Bento, Titmouse, Half Giant, Flying Bark Productions, 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 always looking for new opportunities and qualify for an E3 Visa to work in the US (which has no cost to the employer).
