.Sally began her career at National Art School, and with further study went on  to work in commercial photo studios in Sydney and Amsterdam. While her creative practice encompasses textiles, object design, photography and writing, painting is her enduring passion and she has work held in many private Australian and international collections.

Working in predominately oils, her unique style has developed over 20 years of dedicated practice. Often overpainting, scratching back and re-layering paint, she works to eliminate traces of the ‘object’, in stark contrast to her trained photographer's eye–always looking to bring the object into focus.

'Once the object has been removed, the energy of form and direction of effort is laid bare.  The paint work becomes the subject and the delicious consistency of oil is revealed.'

Always turning her creativity towards the development of new business ideas, Sally has recently launched BOLTspace Gallery in Maitland
