Information /ˈa.nɛi̯ ˈɡoːl.t͡ʃaɾ/ ≈ aney golchar
Hi, I'm a London-based animation filmmaker with an affinity for stop-motion cinematography, puppet-making and set fabrication.
I hold an MA from the Royal College of Art and a BA from Willem de Kooning Academy (The Netherlands).
In my free time, I like to fill my pockets with some gouache tubes, pack my sketchbook and go sketching on location.
When I'm not an artist, you'll probably find me wandering around 🥾 somewhere in the great outdoors 🏔, touring on my steel vintage bike 🚲, wearing my scout scarf ⚜️, travelling the world 🧳 or spending way too much time in the kitchen 🥘 trying out some new recipes.
