Hello! My name is Ivy McCurdy. I am a concept artist and illustrator with a background in animation. I strive to familiarize myself with a wide variety of tools to help me become a well-rounded artist. I have become versed in programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Maya, ZBrush and much more! With a unique mix of traditional and digital mediums under my belt, I’ve been having fun creating unique pieces of artwork.

            Ever since I was little and could pick up a pencil, I have been breathing life into characters and stories. Whenever I had free time, I had my face pressed to a sketchbook. When I graduated high school, I went on to the University of Kansas to study fine arts before realizing my true passion was in animation. Two years later I transferred over to Johnson County Community College where I graduated later in the Fall of 2018. 

            The inspiration and motivation I have received through my favorite films, T.V. shows and games was what gave me that final push to venture into the field of animation. Its been a wonderful ride, filled with ups and downs that have allowed me to really grow as an artist, but it’s just the beginning! I look forward to many more experiences and opportunities to widen my horizon.
