My name is Andrea Bonales, better known as Dre. I am a 24 year-old artist raised in the Inland Empire; Fontana, California for the first half of my life and I currently reside in Rialto, California.

I knew I was meant to be an artist at a very young age. Since then I have made it my life goal to create art. Animation, Illustration, Videography, and Photography are my main forms of expressing creativity. I aim to tell stories through my work, whether it is one I created or someone else’s.

I am currently a student in the Entertainment Art/Animation Program at California State University of Fullerton with an interest in Character Design and Storyboarding. I have earned two Associate Degrees at Riverside City College in June of 2021; Film and Television Production & Fine and Applied Arts.

With that I have worked within the professional film industry as a Production Assistant for projects with creatives like DJ Khalid and Law Roach. I continue to work with friends on their productions and short films as an Assistant Director, Art Director, Set Designer, and a Wardrobe Designer.

I will continue to pave my path of being a Filmmaker and Animator.

To future successes and endeavors.
