ABOUT MARY
Hey there! I'm a passionate 3D Artist specializing in Lighting, Look Development and Compositing. Currently, I'm working in film as a Lighting Artist at Double Negative, prior to which I had a blast at Sony Pictures Imageworks and Animal Logic Studios. On the television side, I was on multiple animated shows at Atomic Cartoons as a Lighting Artist for around 2 years, and also did a brief stint as a Texture and Shading Artist on the Surfacing Team. I would love to work in video game lighting one day too!
I graduated from the 12-Month Full Time Diploma Program at Think Tank Training Centre and also hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of British Columbia with a Major in Visual Arts and Minor in Creative Writing. I was born in Quezon City, Philippines and raised in Calgary, Canada. I am now based in North Vancouver, British Columbia with my cat and partner.
My experiences and studies have shaped my love for visual storytelling in all its forms. I love fine art portraiture, through which I explore both studio and outdoor photography lighting outside of the CGI space and apply film integration techniques to add 3D elements. I also assist local businesses by doing marketing photography, fashion modeling for clothing brands and creating graphic designs.
In my spare time, I'm usually eating copious amounts of food, reading, gaming, sketching or figuring out the next weird experience to try out. I love cooking all types of asian cuisine, hoarding printed matter, playing the ukulele and sewing costumes for shoots.
