Sally was artistically creative as a child and throughout high school enjoyed many art classes. Her love of photography began as she helped her father in his photo studio in Florida. In college, she took many photography, art history, and humanities courses, as she pursued her degrees.

However, she was creatively restless and used photography as a springboard to expand her expressive possibilities. She started with Polaroid transfer, emulsion transfer, and photocopy transfer methods which led her to encaustic and mixed media as ways to explore unique presentations of her photographic images.

Combined with a love of travel, Sally’s photography and art often depict backroad locations she calls “drive-by museums”, as well as landscapes, birds and animals around the U.S. and Europe. She is especially drawn to photographing old or abandoned buildings, structures, cars, trucks, roads, and signs because of the mystery, intrigue, and forgotten stories they hold. They are reminders of inevitable change due to shifting economy, environment or climate. She loves to extend or create new meaning using these images. They are glimpses and vignettes of earlier times, with a spin, and may nudge you to wonder, question, or imagine other realities.

Sally’s dream of living near mountains was realized with her recent move to the Blue Ridge Mountain area after many years of coastal living.

Sally’s art is on display at 310 Art Gallery in Asheville, and in collections around the country. She continues to take courses and workshops to improve her skills and vision, and experiments with different mediums and ways to express her curiosities, concerns, and views.
