Hello, my name is Julie Grimes. I’m an aspiring visual development artist.

Back in my last year of college, I saw Coco and it changed me. I was in awe, totally inspired and wanted to learn how to be an artist that works in animation.

Over the last five years, I’ve been learning the elements and principals of design for animation, honing my skills and getting my work up to the level that it needs to be to get hired.

I’m currently in a mentorship with Nash Dunnigan, who is an incredibly kind, patient and thoughtful artist. I feel very lucky and honored that I get to work with him as I build my portfolio.

In my free time, you can find me painting in plein-air, selling artwork at markets and art shows, playing with my two cats or hanging out with my husband watching movies.

Let’s work together! Email: juliegrimesart@gmail.com
