Michelle Lin (She/Her)

Concept Artist Other
I am a Los Angeles based artist with 10+ years experience in the animation industry where I specialize in character design and visual development. I am currently Assistant Art Director on Disney Junior's Ariel. I was formerly Assistant Art Director on Mira Royal Detective as well as Design Supervisor on Miles From Tomorrowland. I love projects that highlight diversity and representation, strong characters, and rich world-building. Outside of animation, I am a traditional gouache painter, and I co-run a plein-air painting group called the Warrior Painters that has grown into a global online art community. I’m also an art instructor, and I’ve taught gouache painting at Concept Design Academy and Color Concepts for Animation online.

In this plein air painting experience, you will step out and recreate your memories at LightBox Expo!

Let’s gather outside the iconic Pasadena Civic Auditorium, then spread out to capture the vibrant street scenes on location. Whether you’re painting a quiet architectural moment or a bustling character-filled vignette, this is your chance to observe, imagine, and create right in the heart of LA with Warrior Painter hosts!

Bring your sketchbooks, painting supplies, or digital tablets—whatever you like to work with! Artists of all levels are welcome, and professional mentors will be on-site to offer feedback, tips, and encouragement throughout the session. Every participant will also receive an official event button to commemorate the day.
