Siobhan Twomey

Hello, I'm Siobhan (pronounced: Shivon ... an Irish name! )

My work spans the disciplines of Figure Drawing, Painting, Filmmaking and Animation. To say the least, my art journey has been varied, scenic and multi-faceted!! However, the one thing that was missing on this journey was a guide, a mentor, or someone who could advise and give me feedback.

Here's what my journey looked like:

Starting out, I studied Film in Dublin, and I spent a semester on a scholarship at the Tisch School of the Arts, at NYU, shooting 16mm short films in New York. Later, I studied Drawing and Animation. Since 2005, I've worked in studios in Vancouver and Dublin: I've worked as a professional Background and Environment Artist; I've worked as a Storyboard Artist, Concept Artist; I've also directed a number of short animated films. In total, I've worked for 20 years as an Artist, Illustrator and Animation Professional. And throughout it all, I had to figure almost ALL of it out for myself!

Today, I work from my own studio, and my art practice revolves around portrait painting and figure drawing. I make art on commission and for gallery exhibitions. 

My passion now is to provide the mentorship to others that I wish I had on my journey. My goal is to show you shortcuts on the road, to help you avoid wrong-turns and miss-steps, and to point out the talent and ability that you already have right now!! 

Check out my classes below: I have complete Learning Paths on:  Storyboarding, Animation, Concept Art and Figure Drawing. See you in class! :)

Siobhan.
