Artist Bio
Wren Halpern is a Motion Design and Animation major at the University of Connecticut in the Digital Media and Design Department. They have been passionate about art, storytelling, and animation since they were young and have always known they want to be creative in their career. They love illustration and storyboards and are also a writer and musician.
Horror is a more recent passion of theirs—as a kid they were always fascinated by the genre but more likely to look up plots on Wikipedia than actually watch horror movies. They’ve grown to really love the way that horror done right has an incredible power to show character depth, emotional journeys, and relationships in a way that is unique from other genres. One of the solidifying inspirations for their work is Mike Flanagan's The Haunting of Hill House, a ghost story that isn't really about ghosts at all.
