Colleen Larson is a very talented character artist. Before I hired her, her work already spoke for itself. Once we'd worked together, I realized that not only is she a great artist, hard-working, but she also has a great attitude to try her very best and learn with each task. Most importantly, she is a team player, helping other artists on the team. She's very humble and also not shy about giving feedback to help others! I believe many people will be able to learn a lot from her experience and artistic vision.
