Brenda Hickey was born and raised in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Since there was nothing much to do out in the country, she quickly learned to amuse herself (and keep out of trouble) by drawing pictures and creating stories with her sisters. By 3rd grade she’d decided that she’d dedicate her life to comics and art. After high school she enrolled in the graphic design program at Holland College to further her skills. In the years to follow she was taken in by Trapeze animation/Mugisha Ent., and created web graphics and background illustration for animation. Once the animation studio came to an end, Brenda was able to hold her own as a freelance artist & designer. In 2009 Brenda began illustrating for Bayer Health’s “K: Living With It!” comic series, and in 2011 she self published her webcomic “In the Air”.
