Eugene Salandra

An Italian-American native of New Jersey, I earned a BFA in Film and Television at New York University, and studied figure drawing at the Art Students' League of New York. I have worked for over three decades as an animation artist in television and film, primarily storyboarding children's entertainment for Disney. My style and approach have been influenced by mentors John Canemaker, Tissa David, and my grandfather Eugene Montroni. Eugene Salandra
