Clio Wagner- Media Outreach Coordinator and Arts Educator
I am a 2022 graduate of California State University Northridge, where I studied 2D/3D Art and Animation, focusing on Pre-Production, Storyboard, and Visual Development.
I currently work full time for Art Trek, Inc. as their Media Outreach Coordinator,
and I also teach weekly after-school animation classes throughout Ventura County.
Today, my personal artwork is centered on merch design for my online store and occasional original comic concepts.
I had a passion for storytelling as a child, and over the years I have developed the skills to better share my stories to an audience. In elementary school, I enjoyed creative writing, reading, and watching cartoons that inspired me to draft new stories.
In everything I do, I am motivated by my students and fellow teachers, as well as mutual friends from CSU Northridge. I owe my passion to the people that inspired me to pursue my dreams.
