About Jeremy Gatlin
I liken himself to Bert from Mary Poppins, a master of all things. I’m a professional dancer, athlete, musician, singer, actor, choreographer, and consider myself overall an artist of live and still art. My passion for artwork came from my love of dance first and foremost from a 3-D moving art form, leading my engineering mind to creating still art that could be viewed in a 3-D environment.
From an early age I was always fascinated with how things work. I have fond memories of taking apart an expensive family heirloom antique clock and being surrounded by a million little bolts, screws, coils and wires, puzzled with how to put it back together without any direction. The reprimanding i received from my parents led me to figure out swiftly how to bring the clock back to life! That was the early stages of my discovery of how to create things, by taking them apart and piece by piece figuring out how to put them back together. I started making paper models several years back as a hobby following pre-determined model schemes and directions and found over time that I could hand craft and create my own models and the sky was the limit of what I could make and what materials I could use to make them. One fun and challenging project lead to another leading me to take a daring jump and submit one of my models to Disney Company for a design challenge. In 2017 I was lucky to have my “Pirates of the Caribbean” Model put on display at the Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim CA along with 9 other finalists work viewed by thousands of Disney fans and Imagineering officials. In 2018, I took on yet another challenge and was commissioned to build a 10 foot long scale model of Aladdin’s Palace for a kids production of the musical Aladdin. It has been exciting to branch out from display models to set pieces for theatrical productions and I’m always excited to see where my next adventure lies in the model making world. I always follow Walt Disney’s motto “If you can dream it, you can do it!”
About What I Offer: I create and produce custom-made scale model miniatures in multiple sizes using a wide variety of art materials including recycled materials. Whatever subject material you want, I can create ranging from architectural work, to fantasy landscapes, and terrains. The sky is the limit with what I can build, you name it and I will take on the challenge to make it.
