Nick Roth

Since 2020 I've created a number of animated pieces, but have also been steadily creating digital paintings meant for print.

I graduated from the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California and have taught programming and animation at California State University, Northridge. I began working in fine arts animation in 2003, hired to create a technically ambitious piece that would be part of a show by the artist Matthew Ritchie at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Since then I've worked on a number of museum and gallery shows as collaborator. In 2019 (running through March 2020) I had my first solo show, Fates, at the San Diego Museum of Art.
