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 three decades as an animation artist in television, film, and internet. My style and approach have been influenced by mentors John Canemaker and the late Tissa David. I have also spent time as a Benedictine monk. Eugene Salandra

Storyboard for "Bigger is Better," Amber's anthem from Sofia the First























































































































I was delighted to storyboard Amber's anthem, "Bigger is Better," for Sofia the First, under the direction of Jamie Mitchell.  Darcy Rose Byrnes, the young actress who voices the character, gave a tour de force performance, so visualizing it was a proverbial piece of cake!
