Tessa Cam Rowe (born January 30, 1981) is a Filipino artist, auteur and entrepreneur. She is mostly known as being the head mistress (or "Head Nurse") of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Philippines, one of the hundred branches of the globally renowned Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, founded by art model and illustrator, Molly Crabapple.
Tessa was born in Davao City, Philippines.
Her career began in late 2002 when, after graduating with a degree in Economics from the Ateneo de Davao University, she discovered her niche in the realm of digital arts. In 2003, she decided to move to Vancouver, Canada to pursue a degree in 3D Animation & Visual Effects at VFS where she wrote, produced, and directed her first animated short film. In 2005, she went home to the Philippines to work for a small animation studio and has been involved in the local animation and film industry to this day.
In 2012, Rowe has since returned to Canada, where she illustrates for clients and teaches part-time at Vancouver Film School.
Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Philippines is a Philippine counterpart of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School. It is one of over a hundred Dr. Sketchy branches all over the world, from Akron to Zagreb. Dr Sketchy's is, according to the New York Times, a "cross between a life drawing class and new-wave cabaret". Founded by Molly Crabapple (who has drawn for and worked with Neil Gaiman), the movement found its way to the Philippines through head nurse and branch director, Tessa Cam Rowe.
