about me

Hi, my name is Mari. I am a 3D Environment Artist for games. I graduated from the Gnomon School of Visual Effects with a bachelor's degree focusing on Game Art.

I have a background in traditional art and architecture. I believe I have a strong foundation in spatial design and aesthetics which

transitioned into digital art.

I am passionate about making stylized or fantasy environments, and I hope to capture the feeling of enchantment in my art.
