Welcome to marifealbay.com

Art has always been my passion and during my years at university, it could only be my creative outlet as my focus was originally in biochemistry. Soon, the artist in me took over and I had switched gears completely to pursue my creative side. During my artistic exploration, I learned that science and art had a symbiotic relationship and I had applied this to my craft. My knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics allowed me to understand proportions, human movement and timing.

I am a traditional artist trained in photography, sculpture, and painting. As a Multidiscplinary major with a focus in art, I had the opportunity to enhance my studies by partaking in drama and music classes as well. While attending University of Lethbridge in Canada, I had an epiphany about how I could apply the skills I had been perfecting - let's do CG!! So I packed up my belongings and left my homeland of Canada to pursue the magic of CG and all of its intricacies.

Upon graduation, I have worked on Feature Film, Video Game Preproduction and Content Creation, Sculpture, Storyboarding and Photography. Trained as a Compositor, I also have experience in CG.
Art has been the most valuable subject I have come to study as it has taught me to work in a team by collaborating with other artists to brainstorm and communicate our ideas with one another to create work.

I'm constantly learning and exploring different avenues of art - pushing myself as an artist to go beyond what is my comfort zone by trying new techniques. When I'm not creating art, I like to relax with some good 'ol video games - whoever thought up of achievements on the Xbox 360 is a genius! I also play a mean game of Elebits!
