Tricia Buchanan-Benson - Artist

Tricia Buchanan-Benson graduated with a degree in film from Loyola Marymount College. She wanted to study animation but there was unfortunately no course for this at that time. Tricia undertook private seminars in which to learn the craft of animation and it was at one of these seminars that she got her big break. 'The Simpsons' and 'Futurama' asked her to test for them which involves the Directors giving the potential animator a screen to layout and work on. The Simpson's asked her to join their team and she hasnt looked back since. Tricia Buchanan-Benson has also undertaken animation work for King of the Hill and Dilbert specialising in character layout. She now works with Disney Fine Art combining the turn of the century Art Nouveau styles with the Disney characters.
