Kara LeClair
Owner/ Lead Artist / Founding Partner
Kara graduated from Bridgewater State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design, New Media, and Art History. She then attended the Digital Animation and Visual Effects School, and fell in love with visual effects, CGI, and film.
After working as a Senior Compositor for an architecture visualization company in Boston for 7 years, she decided to take a leap of faith, quit her stable job, and work on the Artful Astronaut full-time! It has been a rollercoaster but she wouldn't change a single moment. While in Boston, she learned even more about film production, design, and client communications, and she uses those skills every day while embarking on this new adventure!
In her spare time she also loves running, cooking vegan food, reading, rooting for the Boston Bruins, learning French, hiking with her dog, and watching movies.
Sarah Gonzalez
Founding Partner / Digital Illustrator
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Sarah discovered her passion for compositing at the Digital Animation and Visual Effects School after earning a psychology degree. Progressing from a teaching assistant to contributing to feature films at MPC in Vancouver, and onto a compositing position in Boston, she excels in VFX, storyboarding, and illustration.
As a Latina woman in the industry, Sarah recognized the gender gap in visual effects, inspiring her dedication to becoming an exceptional artist and advocate for representation. Her commitment even led her to co-found our company, where her influence continues to shape our creative landscape.
