Bevin Carnes is soon to be a graduate of Ringling College of Art and Design in the Computer Animation Department. .She grew up in Nashville, TN, where she was constantly surrounded by music and art, but because of her strong interest in academics, she did not decide to pursue a career in art until her senior year in high school, but the switch from pure academics to art was an easy one for Bevin because she has always combined her creativity with her curiosity. Even while attending Wharton Arts Magnet School in Junior high she won the Metro Nashville City Science Fair. In computer animation she has found the perfect combination of art and technology in a profession that poses continual challenges to both her heart and her mind.
While attending Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet High School in Nashville, Tennessee she was a member of the National Honor Society, and graduated magna cum laude in 2003. After graduation she attended the California Summer School for the Arts and was accepted in the fall to Ringling College of Art and Design in the renowned computer animation program. Bevin's senior thesis animated short film, "A Leg Up", is a regional winner in the Student Academy Awards and was chosen for the President's Award at the 2007 Best of Ringling Exhibition. She hopes to continue to challenge herself with new learning experiences in every area of her life, and can't wait to see what the future might bring!
