Negin Bairami is a painter and visual effects artist from San Francisco, California. During her 25 year career, she has worked on over 26 films and numerous commercial projects. Having worked for such a range of media outlets, broadcast news, special effects model shops, stop motion animation commercials and films, and both CGI animated and live action feature films, she has learned the invaluable lessons of problem solving, team building, and infusing projects with artistry and creativity under the constraints of budgets and deadlines.

While painting is her first love, she enjoys teaching and mentoring the next generation of visual artists. She currently lives and works in Vancouver, Canada with her very cute and demanding little dogs.
