About Me
I'm Tara Hayes. I was born on May 30th, 1985 in San Francisco, CA. I have been drawing and painting my whole life and it's mainly what I live for. I took art all 4 years of high school and graduated with an academic achievement in art award as well as a Bank of America award and an honorable mention in the American Dream Art and Essay contest. I have attended Academy of Art University in the past and then took classes at SF State Extension, majoring in animation (2D/3D and character design). I would say anime and Disney movies are what inspired me to become an animator in the first place. Some day, I hope to be a great animator in the vein of Disney or Miyazaki or start off by working on graphic novels .I also do illustration and paintings, traditional or digital. Sometimes I do freelance work and commissions for friends and family. My other hobbies include music, swimming, traveling, cooking, and (of course) watching anime. Lately, I have been getting into graphic design as well. I have completed my Foundation Certificate for Visual Design at City College SF. I've worked with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign and have also dappled in web design and Flash. Feel free to
