"Amongst the fun and delight of an Op Shop my works invite a contemplation on the transience of the world we build around ourselves and whisper of forgotten stories, hidden secrets and abandoned dreams. Speaking to these narratives, my paintings uncover the inherent power of bringing our truths into the light, honouring their imperfect beauty and allowing ourselves to start anew.”

Sally's still-life paintings, reflect moments captured during the hours she spends wandering through city and country op shops, where she finds artistic inspiration at every turn. Using a combination of painting from life, her sketches, photos and memory Sally builds paintings that honour the imperfect beauty found in these long lost treasures offering them a chance to start anew.

Sally recently graduated from a Diploma of Visual Arts at the Northern College of Arts and Technology.
