About Me
Originally from Pittsburg, Kansas, freelance artist Annie Deal moved to Kansas City, Missouri for college. She graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art and an emphasis in Animation. During her studies she found a passion for set design and fabrication. However, she loves all forms of animation, but stop motion has always been an immediate favorite.
Today she is living in Savannah, Georgia pursuing work as a freelance animator. However, in her free time, she focuses on her art practice aa well as collaborative work with other artists. Grateful for amazing opportunities, she lends a hand whenever necessary and socializes with a variety of artists from time to time.
