| Artist Bio - Sarah DiMento |
Sarah DiMento, was born Sarah D. Huntrods November 6, 1978 in Calgary, Alberta - the Canadian equivalent of Austin Texas. Living there most of her life with her father, an engineer turned computer consultant, teacher, musician, glassblower, and deep sea diver; and her mother, who has had far too many hobbies to mention. Exposed to a larger dose of Modern Art, Monty Python, and Pink Floyd than most children, she was certainly never ordinary, and she has always had a good relationship with her younger brother, whom she only ever beat up rarely. Sarah learned how to draw at an early age, and by high school, had filled several sketchbooks, mostly with fantasy art. She then went to The Alberta College of Art and Design, where she decided to major in jewellery because it seemed to offer her more skills than their overly politicized drawing classes. Her high school goal to become a comic book artist was temporarily de-railed, until she created The Captain Electric Supercharger Ring as a jewellery project in 2001. The backstory she created for this project rekindled her interest in the comic book medium. That summer she created the first version of Ceph and took it online. After taking a two year sabbatical at The University of Calgary, where she also worked as a computer tech and was introduced to 3D graphics programs, she put Ceph on hiatus. She returned to ACAD and graduated from the jewellery program in 2004. During her last semester, she developed an interest in film, and revived Captain Electric to do a full blown "mockumentary" video project. Sarah is now doing web design for a living, and devising plans for the future. |
