Brenda Salamone

A long career in children’s educational software has informed my illustration style. I love creating artwork for the kids entertainment market and working with authors to make their stories come alive. A lifelong love for traditional animation has enabled me to create art for the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity and develop a portfolio of animation background work reminiscent of the Looney Tunes style.

I work digitally to emulate a scratchboard technique. The use of line tells a story. I work with line to build a special feeling between the image and viewer, and when it works, there is nothing more satisfying or magical. My personal work tends to focus on the stories going back generations that repeat from culture to culture. It is the timelessness and verbal tradition of folk tales that pulls me and inspires me to provide an image or setting to tales only whispered about.

I believe in creating with a goal in mind and doing my best to be intentional. I respect the creative process and the craftsmanship and role of others. I truly believe that art is a way to positively inspire others and that art can also be a way to inspire confidence. It is awesome to begin everyday knowing I get to create.

I work in acrylics, oils and watercolours to try to create pieces that show movement, lightness and beauty in nature, people, imaginary creatures, and everyday scenes. I received my Bachelor of Design from the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Vancouver BC, Canada.
