Tropical Jungle (Napa Institute)

Disney,Disney Princess,Home Decor,Baby Furniture,Disney Decor,World Vision Children

Here are some of the jungle scenes I painted at the Napa Institute. The clinic owner wanted objects like butterflies painted at various heights on the walls for use in the children's therapy sessions. The therapists would ask the kids to reach for a butterfly or a parrot on the wall to help extend their mobility. It was so rewarding to be able to do something to help these brave kids.

"THE PRINCE OF EGYPT" (DreamWorks)

It was a real honor to work on this film -- DreamWorks first animated feature. My character was Moses sister, Miriam -- but I also worked on Moses and Aaron. Believe it or not, I appeared as an animated character in the movie. One of the animators needed to film some reference footage of a girl weaving on a loom. Not only did he film me, but he drew the character of the girl to look like me. In the scene where Moses and Zipporah are are discussing his returning to Egypt, there's a girl between them in the background weaving on a loom. That's me!

"SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON" (DreamWorks)

I know what you're thinking. This is a horse movie, so Ramya worked on the horses. Right? Well, yes and no. I did work some on Spirit, but I was assigned to the Cavalry Soldier Unit. You'll see them in the trailor. Especially, the lead Cavalry Soldier with the Mustache who's in the climactic final scene with Spirit.
