Hi! I'm Sarah, a 3D Environment Artist born and raised in Switzerland but currently I live in Montreal.My journey in the realm of 3D art spans both gaming and VFX industries, providing me with a versatile skill set and an appreciation for the intersection of technology and artistic expression. What I most enjoy doing is is creating captivating natural landscapes, each designed to evoke a specific atmosphere. I’m always practicing to improve my skills and learn new softwares.Outside the world of CG, you'll find me immersed in indie movies, exploring vast RPG worlds in video games, and embarking on aimless walks, reveling in the beauty of the unexpected. A culinary adventurer at heart, I love trying new foods. At home, I share my space with my opinionated feline companion and often foster another cat, adding a touch of joy and chaos to my creative sanctuary.Feel free to get in touch!
