"If we do not see it, do we believe it? Art can reveal truths in a way that might not
otherwise be seen and embraced.The majesty of our environment may sometimes be
missed while the destruction of nature may also sometimes seem insignificant. But we are
all connected, like the roots of trees, we grow together, we live together and die together.
We must see it all to believe it, to appreciate it, to discover it and to nourish it. My art
layers the trees and waterfalls, streams and sunlight with the human spirit and form, so that
we might appreciate this inter-connectedness. My process is as layered as my concept.
Using archival digital photographs, encaustic paints, sometimes wood and fiberglass, my
art works can be two or three dimensional. It all seeks to visualize and remind us that we
are our environment.

"I make work with soft pastels that is gestural and saturated with pure pigment on paper.  

A story unfolds in the landscape, street scape, or interior space. Landscapes grab me with their light, often mysterious, distant or intimate. I become more aware of the power and beauty of the world around us as I describe it with color, line and shape.

 

I earned a BA in Studio Art, concentrating in printmaking. I then studied architecture, and worked in photography and architectural marketing. Next, after a move to NYC, I was an archivist and worked on publications for art galleries. While raising a family in NY, CT, and NJ, I earned a certificate in Appraisal in Fine and Decorative Arts, while continuing to draw and work in watercolor, until I discovered the strength and rich pigment of soft pastel on paper."

Sally will talk about her work and demonstrate her use of pastels.

“Incognito Witch works reveal the subject’s hidden psyche, suppressed to meet society’s expectations. Mortals become magickal beings draped in mysterious fabrics, adorned with jewels and leaves, wearing messy makeup with a signature flash of color under the eyes. These figures evoke a Mother Nature archetype of power, strength, attraction, empathy and vulnerability.
From 2014 to today, Incognito Witch Selfies
submitted by the public for painting reference
consideration have been the perfect vehicle for folks worldwide to participate. Many folks individually, and as a party activity, dressed up and took Inner Witch selfies.

I see my art as a way to promote self-acceptance, laughter, play, healing, community and personal possibility. The inner magick message resonates with like-minded individuals, participants, and organizations that support a mission to change the world through art. My plan for the project is to continue find an audience for the existing body of work, while still exploring, creating, and evolving as an artist. Whatever is ahead, developing unique work with a message — combined with lived, felt, reported impact — still moves me deeply and keeps me
moving forward."
