Biography:

My Name is Jessica Silvia and I am weird. I grew up in a little town in Massachusetts on a little horse farm for the majority of my life. Now you might think I would have been a horse farmer, or maybe harvesting corn but no, I decided that robots, comic books, and video games were cooler and that I should chase that in life instead.

I always knew I was going to do something art-related with my life when I was younger. I loved comic books and Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles too much not to. I first wanted to do comic book work, because I had such huge heart eyes for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine at the time that I knew I just had to do something with Wolverine. Later in life, I fell head over heels for transformers and spent a huge amount of my teenage years drawing nothing but robots and read nothing but transformers comics for the longest time. I consider myself lucky enough that I was able to work on a few transformers comics as part of the colorist team.

When it came to animation, I was all over the place. I love doing 2D animation and for the majority of my college journey, was a 2d animator. Only now, during my senior year of college did I awaken to Stop Motion. Sure, I had tinkered with it a lot when I was younger, but I never thought I'd end up settling on it. It's actually been a good journey up until this point in discovering myself. My goal for graduation is to work for studios like LAIKA or Stoopid Buddy Studios. I want to make art, I want to make things that make people emotional and laugh. Even if I do not find myself where I hope, I will keep making, keep creating, and keep moving forward.
