Hi, I'm Sarah Neveu, a passionate 2D/3D artist based in Vancouver, BC. With over 13 years of experience, I've honed my skills in concept art, digital matte painting, 3D modeling, and environment creation for both live-action and animation projects. I love bringing stunning terrains and vistas to life using tools like Gaea and Houdini. I'm proficient in a wide range of software and have a solid foundation in arts, 3D animation, and numeric design. I'm detail-oriented, communicative, and was even nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Achievement in Visual Effects in 2014. I'm always eager to collaborate on creative projects and push the boundaries of visual storytelling.
