Hey I'm Shari (she/they) -  I grew up in Kansas and currently live in Los Angeles, California.

 

After graduating from Emerson College, I moved to LA in 2019 and started working as an art PA on union shows. In 2021 I joined IATSE local 871 as an art department coordinator and worked on several union productions until industry work slowed down in early 2023.

​​​

Since 2023 I've been taking on more projects as a freelance art department baddie doing production design, props, set decoration, set dressing, and craft style fabrication. I thrive working within the constraints of ultra low budgets and have worked on larger budget projects as well. My greatest skill is creative problem solving!

​

I'm eager and excited to continue learning and growing as an artist and craftsperson in the industry. I aspire to join IATSE local 44 and work in the property department!

​

I also have my own art practice doing paper collage and 2D stop motion "animated collages" made out of mostly found magazines and materials. I've made album covers, Spotify canvas videos, promotional brand animations, animations for short films, and more. It's a very specific style of animation but I believe it will find its niche.
