<p>I majored in 2d animation after winning a Royal Society of Art Award in 1993 for my first animated short for the World Wide Fund.</p>
<p>I worked freelance on various 2d animated film productions for companies including Warner Bros. and Dreamworks, working in London, Vancouver and Valencia</p>
<p>I’d been experiencing relationship problems which nearly killed me but was saved by escaping to the amazing UK coast, sketching our fantastic birds and the odd seal en plein air restored my sanity. One Osprey sketching trip I met the legendary Rutland Osprey Educator and author Ken Davies and illustrated his book "Ozzie Leads the Way" for children 8+( available to buy from Lyndon Reserve and Walkers Books, Oakham all proceeds to the Rutland Osprey Project). I rarely get a chance to sit and work from photos at home so my studio is en plein air working from life.</p>
<p>I organise free plein air sketching afternoons locally.
<p>To see some of my illustrations and more life drawing from sessions at animation studios go to my Flickr photostream at <a href="/fionagomez/https./www.flickr.com/photos/figomez">www.flickr.com/photos/figomez</a>.
