Bio

Charlotte-based digital media artist, Demora LeChette, has learned various skills over the past several years. Originally a watercolor artist, she has spread her skills to include the digital world, learning: digital illustration, painting, animation, and 3D sculpting. Now, as her digital skills progress, she has started to combine her skills as a watercolorist with her digital art. Inspired by the various games and comic books she has read and played over the years, Demora strives to tell her own stories through comics and animation. Her work leans into darker topics, she uses a mix of fantasy and horror to express her ideas on humanity and what it means to be human.

Artist Statement

 As a lifelong avid reader and collector of books, I became inspired by others writing their stories and now I want to tell my own. That is why I decided to use my abilities to create my own worlds through art. Animation, illustration, and comics have paved the way for me to be able to make my ideas a reality. I always loved reading dark fantasy stories that allow the reader to look into the parts of the human mind we try to ignore and see the tenderness hidden within. I like to use my art in the same way, exploring things that feel unknown to me.
