Hazel Mae Sewell (néeBounds; 1 May 1898 – 22 January 1975), later Cottrell, was American animation artist and the first head of Walt Disney Studio's Ink and Paint Department.[1] (It was earlier known as the Tracing & Opaquing Department.)[2]
Born in Spalding, Idaho,[3] she was hired shortly after her sister Lillian Bounds, also known as Lillian Disney, began working at the studio as an artist. Some of Sewell's primary responsibilities as the head of the Ink and Paint Department included: developing new techniques in the inking and painting processes, creating new divisions at the Walt Disney Studio, and overseeing the hiring and training of new artists.[1] Sewell worked with the studio for 11 years until resigning in May 1938. She was the first woman to serve as the head of a major division at Disney Studios.[1] She is known for her work on Disney animated shorts such as Plane Crazy[4] and the feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.[1]
