Victoria Mather

I grew up in Berkshire, England, taking my toys apart and gluing them together in different combinations etc.

I got my first job in the film industry when I was 17 at Ealing Studios, assisting Art Director Brian Savegar (A Room with a View/ Dinosaurs). I was studying Photography and art at the time, and continued my education to a degree in Fine Art, this is where I began making puppets and short animations.

After graduating, my sketchbooks and puppets were put to one side. I started freelancing as a photographer and designer in mostly fashion/ music/ film/ TV industries.

More recently I met someone who loved animation as much as me, and we began a project together, with some amazing people involved only to be stopped in our tracks because of work commitments. Lightening struck me at this point and I decided I wanted to know everything about animation.

So now I am here and I can get my sketchbooks out and start making those stories and animating those characters.
