JANEÉ ROBERTS

Artist & Designer

I'm a passionate artist with the drive use my skills in all things creative, but most of all, I am a storyteller. No matter what medium --whether it be, animation, drawing, or a song-- I tell stories. My goal is to bring to life moments in time within my art that invoke my audience to feel something. Emotions connect us and I love connecting people. I hope you enjoy the stories you find here on my website.  

If you smiled at least once, I've done my job!

NICE TO MEET YOU!

Janeé is an animator trained in both digital and traditional arts. Her artistic journey began at an early age of drawing characters and slowly grew into a passion for visuals. She honed her creative skills in sketching and acrylic painting throughout high school and later prided herself in being a self-taught digital painter as well. She was in many clubs in high school but the one that inspired her the most going into college was Graphic Design. She gained her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design at her “Home by the Sea” Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. 

​

Ultimately her passion for visuals gravitated her towards animation where she discovered her love of storytelling through wordless motion and actions with characters. She decided to get her Master of Fine Art in Animation and VFX at Academy of Art University in San Francisco where she was taught under the animation industry's finest and even worked on the project "Coyote's Place" in the Academy’s collaborative production experience, Studio X. After graduating, she work at BRON Studio on two unreleased series and with Kitestring, Inc. on their short animation, LIKE!.
