Sally makes work that inhabits the shared space of fine art and illustration.

Her work evokes the personal and a sense of ‘home’ through the objects and settings portrayed, some are like small talismans of the mundane and everyday such as jumpers, doors, coffee pots, white bread and bottles. Some pieces move into the abstract where upon media, colour and composition have taken over. Still others move into story telling, involving foxes, magpies, crows and horses. All her pieces Sally believes has a story to tell somewhere within them, sometimes only realized once the piece is finished.

Her work is small in size, using various papers that are preferably old and creased including used notebooks, bakery paper, old book paper, packaging paper.

Print-making such as mono-printing, block printing and tetra-pak printing are used in most pieces, along with mixed-media collage including watercolour, acrylic paint, gouache, pencil crayon, pastel, pen and ink. There is always a sense of experimentation and playfulness in her work.

Sally has practiced making art for over 30 years, exhibiting and selling her work in galleries and online.
