​

Sally graduated from Central School of Art and Design in 1979 with a BA (Hons) in Textile Design and has since worked in a variety of roles, but always with design at the heart. Becoming a freelance artist and illustrator a couple of years ago, Sally has shown her work at a variety of exhibitions around

Hertfordshire including Open Studios and the Big Art Fair; landscapes, famous portraits and pictures of animals plus floral compositions.

​

With an enjoyment of understanding new techniques that help to tell a story, illustrating a set of words or phrases or to depicting a view, Sally loves the challenge of learning and exploring. That coupled with developing a technical ability drive Sally onwards in her creative journey, delighting in creating artworks that provide an expression of herself and her view of life.

​

Sally’s current series of work makes use of a medium which reacts with water, exploding with a myriad of coloured pigments. Each painting uses this unpredictability to connect with the viewer; Brusho Crystal Pigments are fun to explore and challenging to control, with the powders giving right and clear colours which can be mixed and used with a variety of bases including water and starch and built into layers by applying varnishes. Glitters and sparkles as a fun element showing off how sunlight dances on water, or how sand glistens.

​

Sally is a member of Herts Visual Arts and the Society of Art for All Artists and is now studying for an MA in Illustration through the University of Hertfordshire.
