About

Hi, I’m Roo Nelo (you can call me Roo). I’m an artist, animator, crafter, and designer based in the US. I’m also a highly introverted person with multiple chronic conditions, so I'm often at home creating.My works feature cute, whimsical art that evoke a sense of calmness and healing. These are inspired by the quiet moments in life where I feel most at ease. Through handmade art across many mediums from stop motion to woodcarving, my hope is to bring some comfort in other's lives.To learn more about what I’m up to, I document my handmade projects and thoughts on creativity 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.
