Talia Spencer
Presenting
My name is Talia Spencer, and I am a Concept Designer that was mentored directly by Rick Carter & his philosophies on art. It’s impossible to write a person’s identity as a series of events, when to me, a person seems so much more like a complex series of lessons & emotions- But in the interests of levity; I was born imagining worlds, like so many other children. But it was only in the process of being orphaned - and raised by the moral worlds set forth in films, that I learned the true magic and power of storytelling. My life’s mission is to imbue great stories with great art- To inject love & heart into every painting, so that anyone watching feels a little lighter leaving the theater than when they went in.
