Petra Warr

Petra Warr works in the mediums of 2D hand-drawn animation and character art/design. Her practice revolves around character-driven narratives which explore relationships between individuals and their unique environments. Petra's goals are to use her skills as an artist to tell stories with a unique perspective that can uplift, comfort and support her audiences. Her most recent work examines the internalisation of gender expectations in relation to gender representation in cartoons and individual social environments, and the role that animation plays in either enforcing or breaking gender stereotypes.
