The Heroine’s Journey of Anna Guglielmi Farris

Posted by peterdekuster on

 

What is the best thing that I love about my work?
I love to give life to characters and shapes and the multidisciplinary  of the field. I am fascinated by the magic to give a soul to something which is not alive. The multidisciplinary aspect allows me to experiment across all media.
What is my idea of perfect happiness?
My idea of perfect happiness is to get paid to make short films and illustrations. To work with an insightful and friendly team where I can add value with my artistic direction. It would be great to work next to a park in light studio with a dog next to me.
