About
I’m Taylor O’Donnell, an artist and animator based in Chicago. I just graduated DePaul University with a Bachelors in Art and Animation. While I’ve learned the fundamentals of animation through my coursework, I’ve also been self-taught from a young age, experimenting with tools like Adobe, Blender, and Procreate to bring my ideas to life. DePaul allowed me to gain experience working with professors and even future employers. I have been fortunate enough to work alongside Brother Mark Elder, creating concept art and 3D modeling a statue that will end up at the St.Vincent DePaul parish in Perryville, Missouri. My goal with art is to create empowering pieces that will inspire not just my community, but young artists as well.
