Michele Moen

Biography:
Michele Moen started as matte painter under Matthew Yuricich during the matte work for “Blade Runner” 1982.
“I was lucky that day the venerable matte artist, Mathew Yuricich, hired me to apprentice on Blade Runner. I washed a ton of paintbrushes and learned the classic art of matte painting, which has kept me busy for a quite awhile.We still keep in touch; Matt is living up in Washington and tells some really great movie stories.
Lately I’ve been working my way back towards illustration and drawing and painting as much as I can.”

Michele Moen worked during some years at Entertainment Effects Group as matte assistant of Yuricich. She latter went to work with him at Boss Films. As many others she changed to digital matte painting during the 90´s.
