Biography
Hi! I'm Madison Banks, a Denver/Columbus based artist currently completing my BFA at the Columbus College of Art & Design. I am working as a Key Animator and Effects Animator at INSERT Media, as well as a visual development mentee under the guidance of Elizabeth Burright. Previously, I worked as the Communications Director for the Animation Student Collective at CCAD where I organized and co-hosted Artist Talks, and put students in contact with professionals. I have additional experience as a visual development artist, character designer, animator, and story artist.
When I'm not creating art, I'm outside, looking at trees.
Thank you for checking out my work. Feel free to reach out!
