    Ramsey Naito Up for Oscar for ‘Boss Baby’

    “Change is good, as long as you are inspired.

    At least, that’s what Ramsey Ann Naito ’92, an Academy Award-nominated producer and advocate of women in the animation industry, believes. The child of a painter mother and sculptor father, Naito spent her Baltimore childhood and young adult life as an artist. She loved to draw, creating her own coloring books instead of buying them from the store. And she loved to sculpt, welding her own materials by age 10.

    ‘I identified with sculpture because I was a feminist,’ Naito said. ‘I wanted to build things and I wanted to be the woman against nature and create architectural experiences for people.’

    So it made sense that after graduating from the Baltimore School for the Arts she would attend MICA to pursue a degree in sculpture. She even received a master’s degree in fine arts from California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), where she spent most of her time building sculpture installations with sound.”
