“Before I joined AFH, I was very much prioritizing digital work,” Brianna, an AFH NYC Teen explained, “When I started working here, there was only the Painting Studio. Working here has helped me expand the mediums and scope I work with.”
Brianna is from Brooklyn, NY and started working at Artists for Humanity almost 2 years ago, at first working digitally, and later expanding their work to incorporate a wide variety of mediums including digital illustration, poster making, character design, and more! In their free time, they enjoy playing horror video games like Resident Evil and making their own original characters for comics. Although they love a wide variety of artistic mediums, their current goals revolve around animation, and they’ve already successfully taken a big leap in the right direction— they will be attending SCAD for animation next year! But their dream project is to make an animated film.
“I want to make an animated film,” Brianna emphasizes, “Or be part of a big art studio that animates stuff. That’s my major life goal.”
But before they leave AFH and move on to their next adventure, they’re working on a digital collage mural for a private investment firm in Boston offices that represents their values of trustworthiness, experience, and success.
“They want us to make the collage representative of their values of trustworthiness, experience, and success.” Brianna elaborates, “They want us to represent the people who work in the office, and also the establishment as a long-term financial institution, and their journey over the long lifespan of their company.”
We can’t wait to see the finished collage mural, provide Brianna a proper send-off (BTW, you can celebrate with Brianna and AFH NYC via their Open Studio on 5/30), and to see all the amazing animations, posters, and character designs they create in the future! Congratulations Brianna! We’re so excited to cheer you on in your next adventure :’)
