MFA-3D Character Animation

Janee Roberts

Janee is an animator trained in both digital and traditional arts. Her artistic journey began at an early age of drawing characters and slowly grew into a passion for visuals. She honed her creative skills in sketching and acrylic painting throughout high school and later prided herself in being a self-taught digital painter as well. She gained her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design at her “Home by the Sea” Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. Ultimately her passion for visuals gravitated her towards animation where she discovered her love of storytelling through wordless motion and actions with characters. She decided to get her Master of Fine Art in Animation and VFX at Academy of Art University in San Francisco where she was taught under the animation industry’s finest and even worked in the Academy’s collaborative production experience, Studio X. At Studio X, she worked as an animator on the up-incoming “Coyote’s Place” completing multiple finalize shots while continuing to work on the project.
