“Salerno is exceptional in her ability to use the medium of collage to imply three dimensions in scenes with depth and form. By carefully piecing seemingly discordant patterns together in precise ways, Salerno creates interior spaces that seem both whimsical and familial”

“…(Salerno) is bold and inventive with color, making sculptures and paintings that often subvert scenes of domesticity and romantic stereotypes. Some work as twisted fairy tales… And there are signs of the housewife unleashed to confront her archetypes in many of the skillfully composed narrative designs… Salerno’s voice and vision are unique and original. She reinvents the fairytale and the magazine fantasy for the modern woman, artfully deconstructing the notion of distressed damsels and desperate housewives…”

“...Behind these are assemblages composed of naturalistic patterns, stuck on plastic cutouts, beads and Day-glo string, by Kim Salerno. They have a sort of urban hipster design appeal-the sort of Style you see in ready-Made and bust magazines-silhouette and line forms lifted from various reference material (including old pattern designs and nature itself) and rearranged to suit contemporary tastes.”
KATE LEDOGAR

“... Salerno’s sense of design is so assured-and her delight in extreme colors and oddball materials so infectious-it’s hard not to be swept along. This is clearly an artist to watch.”
