Hi! I am Shravani Pawar, an Indian artist and a Senior at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, pursuing a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts with a focus on Animation. Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to exploring storytelling through dynamic sketches and creative experimentation. Whether sketching animals during visits to the zoo, diving into meticulous lightbox work, or bringing characters to life through digital cleanup, I’m passionate about creating stories that resonate and inspire. When I’m not animating, you’ll probably find me sketching the world around me, connecting with people at the Gene Siskel Film Center, or daydreaming about the next story waiting to be told.
