Alyssa Rothwell is an accomplished artist animator based in Sydney, Australia. She creates animated artworks using a range of digital and traditional fine art media. Her work has been featured in many exhibitions and prizes, including the New Talent Pavilion at MILIA '98 in France, where her piece 'Three Mile Creek' represented the Australia-Pacific Region. Rothwell also created animation and digital backdrops for several theatre productions presented at the Seymour Centre, Power House Museum and Roslyn Packer Theatre in Sydney. Her animation 'Joyride' was selected as a finalist for the Adelaide Perry Drawing Prize and Exhibition in 2013. Rothwell's achievements also include the presentation of her Australian Film Commission-funded animated short film 'Pretty Aprons' at the Pompidou Centre in Paris in 2000. Additionally, she created an animated film adaptation of composer, Andrew Schultz's 2011 bassoon and piano piece, 'Deep Blue and Dirty', which won the people's choice award at the Melbourne International Animation Festival and was a finalist in the MIAF 'Best of the Best' Jury Prize. The film features Rothwell's signature highly tactile painted animation described as "a beautiful and affective piece" that showcases Rothwell's mastery of the art of animation. Currently, Rothwell is working on several new projects and as a Media Production Lecturer at the School of Arts & Media-Arts Design and Architecture at the University of NSW.
