Pastels

A sandy beach with brush growing in the foreground is shown on a bright day with clouds and rolling waves from a deep blue sea in the background.

Hi, there. I'm Sally. Thank you for coming to my page. Art is my passion. It is what grounds me and allows me a creative outlet I never knew I needed. A little more than 10 years ago I began to paint. Acrylic was my original medium as I was learning. Over time, and after many breaks, I found my true love of pastels.
​
My primary focus as an artist is on landscapes. Whether traveling abroad or somewhere in my own back yard of Chicago, I look for art in nature.
​
Most recently, I joined the Cornelia Arts Building in Lakeview, Chicago. Home to many great artists, I am thrilled to be in their presence and enjoy finding inspiration among them.
​
A little extra: I was raised as an American living in Germany for most of my childhood and early adult life. I have 3 wonderful children and 4 beautiful grandchildren, and I am lucky that they all live nearby.

A group of five birch tree trunks are shown standing in a forested area with light blue flowers at their base. The trunks themselves are white with black spots up and down. Their treetops are not shown but the background is full of other birch trees that are shown almost top to bottom.
A scene of a some houses in the Italian countryside. Two small tan-colored houses with red terra cotta roofs are seen among some trees and green hills and face a late-afternoon sun. Some taller hills are faintly visible in the distance behind the little estate.
