ABOUT ME
My name is Venya Luthra and I am a third year Experimental Animation student. I am Canadian from a Indian and Thai ethnic background. In terms of animation I love experimenting with stop-motion the most, but have tried several different mediums. Currently I work on and off with sculpture, painting, and jewelry making. I hope you enjoy my work!
Artist Statement
My work is cross-dicipinary, though I hope to focus mainly on different modes of animation. In particular, my more current works are stop-motion animation as I try to develop more skill in this artistry.
Furthermore, I am an advocate for representation in the media, amplifying voices that have been overlooked and ignored in the conversation. I have this passion from my personal experiences of looking for representation in the media I consume, especially as a woman of colour. I resonate with the feeling of being represented and hope to continue this in my career, diversifying the animation on screen and behind it.
