Available to hire
Hi, I’m Rachel, a stop-motion and puppet fabrication artist based in Glendale, California. I specialize in building and finishing puppets and props, including armature work, foam fabrication, sculpting, fur/hair work, fine-detail painting, sanding, and resin/mixed-media finishes to bring characters to life on screen.
I can work in miniatures and also enlarged projects.
I’ve collaborated with studios like Imagination Foundry, Fonco Studios, Screen Novelties, and Star Burns, handling everything from initial armatures to painting and can usually ship across the country, and I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative production environments.
