Anita Clipston

The Restless Creative

I started drawing when I was little and fell in love with art and creating images with anything I could lay my hands on: pencils, paint, cameras and eventually computers.

Also from the youngest age I loved Film and Animation, the creators of this magical art form inspired me, it is part of our history and our growing up process, how new worlds and dreams can be made and come true.

From the wonder and beauty of early drawn animation and stop motion special effects with hand crafted scenery to the amazing technology that now allows this incredible art form to be viewed in 3D, Animation & Film are a powerful pieces of art that stay with the viewer long after the movie has ended.

For me as artists we capture the world and the way it is shaped and changed, whether for better or worse. We are historians of the past leaving behind for future generations the legacy of this Art form to view and be inspired, just as I was when a small child and still am to this day.

So to me with art being one true love and passion there was no other thing I ever wanted to do than work in the industry, that had inspired me so much and so my studies and career began...
