About Me.
Hello, my name is Elizabeth Ekema.
I started creating art when I was very young, creating dresses and clothes for stick figures and paper dolls that my grandma gave me. From there stemmed a long journey of self taught exploration.
I went into childcare, working in schools and daycares before turning my eyes on a degree in art. I went to Kalamazoo Valley Community College for an Associates in Animation and Game Art.
With this degree, I have created a T-shirt for a music camp in town, entered contests and taught multiple day camp programs relating to art and expanding excess to art and quality art supplies to kids.
I am ready to take commissions and work for your business or organization!

At KVCC, I studied Animation and Game Art focusing on designing characters and their environments. There, I learned the fundamentals of Animation, practicing in Photoshop and Toon Boom Harmony for 2D and in Maya and Blender for 3D. I learned storyboarding, video production and audio production, all in line with industry standards.
