"Electric Sun Gaze", a mixed media animation for the VEA Newport Beach Marriott, epitomizes the seamless fusion of traditional oil painting with contemporary digital artistry. The journey of this piece commences with a tactile, hand-painted oil portrait, which then dynamically evolves, through painstaking digital transformation, into an animated marvel. As hundreds of layers converge, the muse of the Marriott crystallizes — an epitome of elegance against the majestic Marriott silhouette. Each window of this architectural icon throbs with a rhythmic color-changing aura, painting an ever-changing tableau of light and emotion.

However, the heart of Electric Sun Gaze transcends its immediate canvas. As the muse confidently adjusts her sunglasses, the mirror-like lenses capture a whimsical reflection of Newport Beach's iconic "Fun Zone" Ferris wheel. Its gentle rotation becomes an ode to the playful spirit and rich legacy of the locale.

This mixed media animation is not just a fusion of mediums; it's a bridge connecting Newport Beach's cherished history with its vibrant present. Electric Sun Gaze champions the enduring dance between the tactile and the digital, echoing the evolving tapestry of Newport Beach and the ever-expanding horizons of artistic expression.
