Elise Hatheway is a Visual Development Artist working in animated features in Dallas, TX. Raised in Louisiana, she was constantly surrounded by a rich creative culture and knew her life would be filled with art. She graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008 with a degree in Computer Animation. She started her career at Turbo Squid, a 3d modeling marketplace, working with artists to create commercial ready 3d models. Creative since childhood, Elise was never far from her sketchpad and pencils. When she realized she wouldn’t be happy doing anything else, she made the move to concept design. In 2010, she apprenticed at Reel FX Creative Studios in Dallas,TX. Shortly after, she was hired on as a Visual Development Artist working on Free Birds painting environments and color scripting. She also worked on other projects such as Daffy’s Rhapsody (a 3d short reboot of the looney tunes) and Humbugged: Rockettes to the Rescue (a live interactive Rockettes experience). In 2014, she finished working on Book of Life, a Mexican Day of the Dead film by Jorge Guiterrez. This year, she colorscripted on an upcoming film, Rock Dog, releasing soon in the US. Outside of art, Elise soaks up anything scifi, loves jelly beans, and playing with her adorable Shibas, Reese and Koda.
