Kevin Harkey
Kevin has worked on five of the top twenty five grossing and critically acclaimed animated feature films of all time. He has boarded on such classics as Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tarzan , and How to Train your Dragon.

Kevin lives in Vermont where he recently boarded for Netflix Studio's Wendell and Wild and the Gaumont Studio's production of Paul McCartney's children's book, High in the Clouds.

Kevin was born in Southern California and moved to Vermont with his family over 20 years ago after establishing himself as a story artist for Disney Feature Animation. He has story boarded remotely for such clients as Disney, DreamWorks, Laika and other animation studios while living three miles down a dirt road in Northern Vermont.

Kevin was initially inspired by Norman Rockwell and how he caricatured people and life. Kevin found story boarding was an outlet for his take on life's silly, ironic moments.

"The best part about being a story artist is collaborating with of a team of writers, animators and actors to create cinematic magic."
