Poon's works have appeared in other various venues, including the National Gallery, the Brooklyn Museum, the New Museum, and the Museum of Arts and Design. The Chicago International Children's Festival, Nickelodeon, and PBS have shown her cartoons. She has taught animation and comics workshops and given motivational lectures to artists.
Early life and education
Poon grew up with eight other siblings, including her twin sister in New Canaan, Connecticut and studied painting at the School of Visual Arts. At age five, after a lesson on professions, Poon decided that she wanted to be an artist. Once, her mother excused her from school to visit the Metropolitan Museum for a day, which deeply impressed young Poon. Poon loved shrinky dinks, Colorforms, stickers and paper and scissors. Poon cites the drawings of Shel Silverstein, Quentin Blake, and John Lennon as her main influences.
Works
Poon's current work draws on the playful happiness of childhood daydreams. Poon's animations are very labor-intensive; five seconds of animation require about a day of work. Her animation, "The Book of Visions," created over the course of a year, depicts angels appearing visions to Joan of Arc, Black Elk, and Joseph Smith. Teenage Poon felt that these accounts showed that God valued teenagers' ideas and feelings. Her "Die Wicked Die" animations portray "action packed" scriptural violence influenced by "Itchy and Scratchy."
Poon's animation, "The Split House," depicts Poon's own struggle with mental illness, specifically, with schizoaffective disorder.
Oh Puppy!
Poon calls her naïve and passionate "Puppy" character her alter ego. Puppy's strips were first published on Fredflare.com. The strips have been collected in a book titled Oh Puppy!, and Puppy has appeared in two animations: "Oh Puppy" the rap video and "Puppy's Super Delicious Valentine's Biscuits."
Awards
Poon's The Book of Visions was awarded best film of 2006 by the Association for Mormon Letters.
