Experimenting, humour, and play are key ingredients to the process that keeps me fueled to keep creating. Watch my demo to see what I do best!
Heather Surprenant is an animator, illustrator, and horror movie addict known for her silly dessert doodles.
Here's a brief history of who I am, what I do, and why we should get to know each other:
I grew up in New Hampshire, raised by two people who didn't quite understand what the whole art thing was about, but always kept enough paper in the printer for me to pilfer for my own projects. When I wasn't getting in trouble for drawing in class, I was taking walks through the woods behind my house, being inspired by the nature around me and incorporating those elements into my art. If it was the weekend, I would normally beg my dad to take me into Boston so I could soak up the chaos and vibrancy that only the city could provide.
I ended up attending a wonderful art school thanks to a few amazing high school art teachers and admissions counselor that took a chance on my under-developed portfolio. While I wanted to take every major available, it was the movie "The Road to El Dorado" (and The Angry Beavers, I won't lie) that solidified my resolve to go into animation and use my own brand of humor to make people laugh.
