J A N U A R Y / F E B R U A R Y 2 0 2 1 | P E R S P E C T I V E 6 1 C H R I S T I N A W a l s h From studying fi ne art to visual storytelling, art has always been the focus of my academic and professional pursuits. In my MFA program at Chapman's Dodge College and my undergraduate degree in fi ne art, I learned to become a well-rounded designer. I furthered that knowledge as I have entered into the professional setting. I have had the joy of working on several short fi lms and currently, I am the Art Department assistant on the third season of The Orville at Fox Studios. I plan to never stop learning as I pursue this dream to be a part of something that carries viewers away. Xiaowen Wang studied Production Design at AFI Conservatory in Los Angeles.
