Kathy Anderson is a Canadian Stop Motion artist, on-camera personality and editor from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Early life

Anderson took to drama at a young age, and went on to earn a BFA in Acting from Ryerson University.[1]

She received acclaim[2] for her 2008 Toronto Fringe Festival production, Gameshow: The Musical, which Anderson wrote and composed. Despite earning the "Best in Fringe" (2008) award, the production was met with mixed reviews from press.[3]

Career

Anderson's web series "Puck My Balls" was praised by Sports Illustrated,[4] NBC,[5] The Huffington Post,[6] and Uproxx.[7] In 2011, Anderson was awarded a "Slammie" from NBA.com,[8] for her Blake Griffin tribute video.

This recognition earned Anderson a contract with the MLB Advanced Media, where she made video content featuring the Toronto Blue Jays.[1] Following this, she began work with the Vancouver Canucks, making videos featuring players and Canadian celebrities.[9]

Currently she works as a Stop Motion Artist at Spin Master in Toronto.
