Maria Sanchez

I’m a UK-based artist who primarily works in environment design and story development, with experience in concept art. I love to express my love of world building, storytelling and humour all throughout my output.

Working alongside our wonderful team, I’ve had the pleasure of co-directing and being the environment lead on Girls Fart Too! – an animated short film about an impressionable girl’s dire need to find a secluded spot to toot while in a busy new mall. The film explores themes of societal pressure and female solidarity through a light-hearted comedic tone.

This portfolio features my contributions to the pitch animatic, visual development and production work for ‘Girls Fart Too’, followed by other personal projects.

Plans after degree

After graduation I'm aiming to continue as a environment/layout and story artist, aspiring to work predominantly within children's 2D television animation where I can work and learn alongside passionate creatives to bring fun stories and locales to life. I’ll also be on the lookout for internship and freelance opportunities.
