Lana Kalinda Nichols is a classically trained dancer currently residing in San Francisco with her pet hare. After receiving her BFA in Animation from California College of the Arts, she is now independently studying painting and working towards a greater synthesis of both painting and animation. Incorporating hand painted cel animation or gifs based off her oil paintings, she aims to take traditional animation methods generally reserved for a narrative or commercial approach, to be re-purposed in the minds eye of a painter. |
