Telene Johnston’s Summary

An artist since youth, over the years I've honed my imaginative skills, and explored the areas of figure drawing, sculpting, and painting. With this fine art foundation, digital tools such as Maya and Photoshop are an integral part of my creative process in character creation.

I believe that collaboration and good communication are key elements in an effective team, and look forward to contributing my best in every work environment.
