About Masiana Kelly

Masiana Kelly is Inuit and Dene from Kugluktuk Nunavut and Fort Simpson NWT. Masiana is her Inuinnaqtun name. She was named after an Elder from Kugluktuk where she currently lives with her husband and two sons. Masiana has been an educator for over 10 years and has always loved literacy and the art of storytelling which she studied at the University of Alberta. She has always wanted to write children's stories to share the legends traditions and culture that she grew up with. Tamara Campeau works digitally to create her painterly storytelling illustrations. Her work has a strong sense of lighting naturalistic colours and dynamic composition. She is strongly inspired by wildlife children and the environments in which they reside. She uses this inspiration to add a layer of realism to her work. Campeaus illustration journey began at Dawson College where she earned her associate degree in illustration and design. Shortly after she furthered her studies at Sheridan College where she obtained her bachelors degree in illustration.
