My name is Brittany McKay, and I’m from a small town in New Brunswick, Canada.

I have been passionate about art for as long as I can remember. Although I am self-taught, I feel I could grow further if I had the chance to focus my skills, and learn new things. I love to learn, and grow in life, especially with my art. Direction and input from skilled professionals would help me in this endeavor.

I almost had the opportunity to take the animation program at my local college. I created my portfolio, and they skipped me one year of fundamentals, directly into the two year animation program. Unfortunately I didn’t have the money to attend, and couldn’t get a student loan.

So I continued to work full time as a supervisor in a fast food restaurant, until I got very sick. I went on leave, and this past spring I decided to start my own business. It’s been okay, I haven’t been selling as much as I would like, but it makes me happy and I’m pursuing what I have always wanted to do.

I like how convenient it is to be able to work from home, there’s as much information here as there would be at an expensive college program.

It’s valuable to get input from people that have more knowledge and experience than me, and I have the chance to gain insight from them, and grow as an artist.

I work hard! Very hard, and I’m persistent, even through my mental illness. I have wanted to be an artist since I was a child.

Thank you!
