Bio
David Mattingly
Jess Short is an extremely gifted and dedicated artists. I was pleased to have her in both my matte painting and compositing classes, and she turned in outstanding work in both. What particularly impressed me about Jess is how "out of the box" her thinking is. Her assignments always stretched the bounds of creative thinking so that she could turn in something fresh and insightful, never just what I asked for, but something more, and better. She also has a great worth ethic, willing to put in the long hours it takes to create something extraordinary. I know Jess is going somewhere special in her career!
