About
Hi, I’m Roo Nelo (you can call me Roo). I’m an artist and animator based in the US. I’m also a highly introverted person with multiple chronic conditions. I like to view my creative work as my way of connecting with others.My works tend to feature cute, whimsical characters in calming and healing worlds. These are inspired by the mundane moments in life that I relish during my quiet mornings. Through handmade art across stop motion to woodcarving, my hope is to bring some comfort in life.To learn more about what I’m up to, I often document my art projects and studies on my YouTube channel. I also run Lone Room Studio, which focuses on my large scale indie art and animation work.If there's a project you think I'd be a good fit for, I'd love to hear about it! Contact me here.

I'm always looking for new opportunities. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have a project in mind or have any questions about my work!
