Summary
Hi, I’m Gavin, a concept artist and animator based in Austin, TX. My work is an exploration of the unknown, creating worlds where every scene tells a story. Driven by the journey, I wander through ideas and landscapes, seeking meaning in every detail. With a focus on immersive environments, I believe art is a way of weaving dreams into something tangible—capturing glimpses of truth in a world beyond our understanding. Inspired by God, I strive to reflect His image through creation, as we are made in His image. The very act of creation is an echo of who we are.
