AMPERS&ND AMPERS&ND Meet Danielle Hunt

Danielle Hunt (‘25) started drawing at a young age. Her father, who worked for Cartoon Network as a cartoonist, introduced the idea of illustrating characters with bright colors and personified animals. She started tracing characters and pressing hard on the paper as a way to perfect her lines in her dining room. What she considered to be a diversion and hobby soon developed into a much more significant part of her life, something she hopes to turn into a career one day.

Hunt’s work consists of 3D animation, 3D modeling animation, and traditional animation. Although she has taken art classes at Stetson, she revealed that her best work is completed outside of class, doing her “own thing.” Like many who had time to focus on improving hobbies during COVID-19, Hunt created a large collection of works related to animals and the 1980s. Many of her pieces have wild animals playing some sort of instrument.
